Browns RB Nick Chubb to see increased targets

Cleveland.com

Aug 22, 2019 · 9:59 AM EDT

Running backs coach Stump Mitchell praised Nick Chubb, who was arguably the MVP of training camp.

“I think he’s going to be special like he was last year," said Mitchell. “He’ll be used a little more in the passing game than he was last year. Nick just continues to improve on the skillset that he has, and I think he has a fantastic skillset."

Fantasy Impact:

More passing game work for Nick Chubb would be a huge boost to his fantasy potential. Chubb only had 31 receptions in four years at Georgia and then 20 last season with Cleveland. He did barely play early on with Hue Jackson at the helm, and when he did take over as the lead back, he averaged two receptions per game, which would have given him 32 in a full starting role. If he can build on that now that Duke Johnson is gone, we could hope for 40-50 receptions, but Kareem Hunt will also become a factor after his suspension is up.

Browns RB Kareem Hunt embraced by RB Nick Chubb

Kareem Hunt, who looked explosive in spring practices, has clearly been embraced by his teammates. "That's my boy," said second-year running back Nick Chubb, who stands to lose some work when Hunt returns. "Kareem, he is really cool. He came in and we hit it off right away. Just picking up the playbook and having fun. He's a lot of fun to be around."

Fantasy Impact:

Hunt is on pace to be recovered from his groin injury and back at practice midweek. The Browns are still negotiating with the league about allowing Hunt to remain with the team during his eight-game suspension.

Browns Beat: RB Duke Johnson could be traded around deadline

Don't hold your breath for a Duke Johnson trade anytime soon. Maybe around the midseason trade deadline.

Related players: Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say if the team is in great health and Hunt is still on track to return, they make think about moving Johnson. But right now the Browns are about having as much veteran depth as possible right now.

NFL suspends RB Kareem Hunt for eight games

NFL is suspending Browns’ RB Kareem Hunt for eight games for violating its personal conduct policy, league source tells ESPN.

Related players: Nick Chubb, Duke Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

Nick Chubb should post RB1 numbers for the first half of the season and probably longer, as the team begins to incorporate Hunt into the offense over the second half of the season. Duke Johnson remains in limbo, but he should serve as Chubb's primary backup while Hunt serves his suspension.
