2021 Fantasy Outlook
An Alabama transfer with SEC size at 5-11 and 215, Ford put enough on film in 2020 to draw extremely high expectations heading into this year. Ford played behind senior Gerrid Doaks but managed to impress with his workload, taking 73 carries for 483 yards (6.6 YPC) and eight touchdowns. With Doaks gone, Ford now projects for one of the safest workloads in the country, meaning that his talent is about to be fully unleashed on the AAC. There’s little doubt that between Ford’s skill and workhorse role within the best offense in the conference, he can be a Top 10 running back.
