2025 Fantasy Outlook

Ford enjoyed a fruitful stop with the Chargers last season, with a career-high 3.0 sacks and five pass defenses to go along with 39 tackles and his first career interception. The Rams elected to give the veteran a three-year, $30 million deal in March, bringing Ford to his fourth new team in as many years. A dependable and durable defensive lineman (zero missed games due to injury since 2019), the vet should fit in nicely with a pair of talented young defensive linemen in Braden Fiske and Kobie Turner.

Ford is in line to sign a three-year, $30 million contract with the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

ANALYSIS
Ford has been working under a one-year contract each of the past three seasons, but his efforts in 2024 have earned him a longer-term deal. The Texas product finished last season with 39 combined tackles, including tying a career high with 3.0 sacks, and a career-high five passes defended, including his first career interception over 17 regular-season games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020

A three-year starter for Seattle early in his career, Ford joined the Bills last season and ultimately saw limited usage despite a front four that seemingly was gashed by opposing rushing attacks. Ford will have an opportunity to show that his Buffalo stint was just a blip on the radar as the 28-year-old is expected to be rotated heavily along the front three of the defensive line.

Ford was a workhorse on the Seahawks' defensive front last season, as he averaged 45.1 snaps per game and posted a career-high 53 tackles in addition to two sacks and a pass breakup. He'll earn $8.325 million in 2022 and likely will handle a similar role to last year. With fellow DT Quinton Jefferson also in the fold, the Seahawks' interior defensive line completes a solid front seven in Seattle.

Ford started 14 of 15 games he played in 2019 after his rookie season ended on a high note, and the Texas product compiled 32 tackles, 0.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. He doesn't light up the stat sheet, but his snap count is secure after the Seahawks did little to replace Quinton Jefferson, who departed for Buffalo in March.
