ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman did not play in the team's Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. However, the veteran running back was productive last week, totaling 14 rushing attempts for 42 yards and 5.6 half PPR fantasy points. He played 38% of the snaps in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Jerome Ford played 44%.

Foreman isn't an elite running back, but he's been a solid performer for fantasy players in the past. Last year, he was the RB7 from Week 7 to Week 10 and averaged 15 fantasy points per game. While Ford continues to be the lead back, Foreman could have some flex value in Week 3 if he fills the same role he did last week.

The Browns face the New York Giants and their terrible run defense on Sunday. New York has allowed an explosive run rate, rushing yards per game and yards after contact per attempt that ranks in the top seven this season.
