Pierre Strong Jr. Punches In A Touchdown Monday Night

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. got onto the field in the Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers because of the season-ending injury to Nick Chubb (knee) and took advantage by scoring his first touchdown of the season. Strong finished with only two carries for one yard and the goal-line touchdown while failing to haul in his only target in the passing game. The 24-year-old will now have an elevated role with Chubb out for the rest of the year, but Jerome Ford, who had a team-high 16 carries for 106 yards after Chubb left, should be the priority waiver-wire addition in all fantasy leagues this week if he's available. Strong is worth an addition as well for those managers that miss out on Ford in deeper leagues.

Pierre Strong Jr. Could Have Role Early On

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. could have a role right away with his new organization. The 24-year-old was acquired from the New England Patriots on Sunday. Strong will join Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford as the trio in the backfield to begin the regular season. It's worth noting that Ford has been banged up, but was able to return to practice on Thursday. The expectation is that Ford is going to be the change-of-pace back to begin the season. However, Ford has little experience in the league, so Strong is basically insurance in the backfield. The former fourth-round pick does have talent and shouldn't be overlooked. However, fantasy managers can ignore him for now, but keep an eye on him in case Ford does struggle.

Browns Acquire Pierre Strong Jr. From Patriots

The Cleveland Browns acquired running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the New England Patriots on Sunday in exchange for offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr., according to sources. The move gives Cleveland some more backfield depth behind workhorse Nick Chubb. It's bad news for Jerome Ford, who was set to a bigger role as Chubb's primary backup in 2023. Strong will compete with Ford and Demetric Felton Jr. for touches in the Browns backfield. Back in New England, the trade of Strong likely means second-year back Kevin Harris will be the Patriots' No. 3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott this year.

Pierre Strong Jr. Works Behind Kevin Harris, Logs 44 Total Yards

New England Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr. rushed for 31 yards on attempts while catching both targets for 13 yards in Friday's 23-7 preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. He entered the game after Kevin Harris but had three more touches in the preseason finale. The 24-year-old was in concussion protocol for 10 days before returning to practice on Tuesday. Strong is competing with Harris, J.J. Taylor, and Ty Montgomery for a spot on the Patriots running back depth chart behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott. Strong was among the few bright spots for New England in the preseason finale but would only be on the fantasy radar if he could secure the Patriots' RB3 gig.

Kevin Harris Finds The End Zone In Preseason Loss To Titans

New England Patriots running back Kevin Harris rushed for 17 yards on seven attempts in Friday's 23-7 preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. He drew the start in the preseason finale with both Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott rested. The 22-year-old had a five-yard touchdown run for New England's only score of the game. Harris is competing with Pierre Strong Jr., J.J. Taylor, and Ty Montgomery for a spot on the Patriots running back depth chart behind Stevenson and Elliott. The South Carolina product is only on the fantasy radar if Stevenson or Elliott misses time.

Mike Gesicki, Pierre Strong Jr., Ty Montgomery Return To Practice

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder), running back Pierre Strong Jr. (concussion), and wide receiver Ty Montgomery (knee) all returned to practice on Tuesday. The trio of skill players have all been out for varying periods of time, so it's a positive sign to see them all back to action a few weeks before the regular season begins. Gesicki has fantasy football intrigue as a mid-round tight end option, but Strong and Montgomery are not on the fantasy radar until further notice. Overall, the Patriots offense could take a step forward under new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien.

Pierre Strong Jr. Has Nine Touches In Preseason Opener

New England Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr. rushed for 21 yards on six attempts and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 20-9 preseason loss to the Houston Texans. The Patriots rotated Strong and Kevin Harris by drive, with Strong getting the first crack on the team's first offensive possession. He was also mixed in with J.J. Taylor during passing situations. The 24-year-old is competing with Harris, Taylor, and Ty Montgomery for New England's backup running back spot behind Rhamondre Stevenson. Strong rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown while catching seven passes for 42 yards over 15 games in 2022. The former fourth-round pick could have some fantasy appeal if he can win New England's RB2 spot behind Stevenson.

Pierre Strong Jr. Could Be Rhamondre Stevenson's Complement

New England Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr. has been on the James White track from the get-go, and Strong is far from the first Patriots draft pick to "redshirt" at the position as a rookie. His breakaway speed and short-area agility lend themselves to a role as a receiving back in the Patriots offense, although it's been a challenging role to grasp for younger players historically. On his 10 carries in 2022, Strong had three runs of 10-plus yards and two runs of 15-plus yards, so the potential for big plays is there. The 24-year-old could complement Rhamondre Stevenson as the lightning to Stevenson's thunder in 2023. The questions for the fourth-rounder will be more about volume than talent in his sophomore campaign.
