Jerome Ford is reportedly questionable to play against the Ravens in Week 8. However, the Browns running back did not participate in practice on Wednesday as he was dealing with a hamstring issue.

Given Ford hasn't returned to practice yet, fantasy managers should explore other running backs to draft in Week 8. Nonetheless, the Browns will still have two more practice sessions before they host the Ravens on Sunday.

It remains to be seen whether Ford can return to practice on Thursday or Friday before the Browns host Baltimore this weekend. Fantasy managers can monitor his progress during the week before deciding to drop.

Ford picked up a hamstring injury in the first quarter of Cleveland's Week 6 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles. He left the game and did not return. The running back missed the Browns' Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals.

This season, Ford has racked up 264 yards on 50 carries and rushed for a touchdown. He has also added 87 yards on 20 receptions across six games for the Browns.

Ford has tallied 61.1 fantasy points this season, averaging 10.2 points per game.
