2025 Draft note
In his prime, Nick Chubb was arguably the best pure runner in football, topping 5.0 yards per carry in each of his first six seasons. His career trajectory changed after a 2023 torn MCL and damaged ACL—on the same knee he injured in 2015—and he struggled to regain form last year, averaging just 3.3 YPC on 102 carries before a fractured foot ended his season. Reports from camp have been mixed, with some noting diminished burst, while others offer more optimistic assessments. With Joe Mixon’s return from a foot injury uncertain—though the team hopes he’ll be ready for Week 1—Chubb will get the first shot at RB1 duties. Remember, Chubb was so good that he doesn’t need to be 100% of his former self to be a fantasy starter. He profiles as a two-down grinder with touchdown upside, while rookie Woody Marks should handle most of the passing-down work.
