Nick Chubb

Week 6 vs. New England Patriots

Sure enough, Nick Chubb went nuts against the Chargers to the tune of 134 yards and two touchdowns. That's four games already with 100+ rushing yards and at least 100 total yards in all five games so far. Add to that four straight games with a touchdown (7 total) and there's no debate anymore. He does face one of his toughest tests yet, as New England is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. But this is Nick Chubb we're talking about here. You're starting him and you're not thinking twice about it.

Week 4 at Atlanta Falcons

Another week, another 100-yard performance from Nick Chubb. Arguably the best pure runner in the league today, Chubb is pretty much a lock for lineups anymore, regardless of matchup. This week, he faces the Falcons, who check in at No. 22 in our running back matchup rankings and rank 27th in rush DOVA on defense. A third 100-yard rushing performance is very much in the cards for Chubb this week as the offense continues to revolve around him.

Week 2 vs. New York Jets

Nick Chubb showed yet again why he is one of the best running backs in the game today. Cleveland gave him 22 carries and he took those carries for 141 yards against the Panthers. He will be a lot to handle for the Jets, though the Jets did flash strong run defense last week against the Ravens.

However, Chubb saw just one target in the passing game while Kareem Hunt saw four, including his touchdown. Hunt also saw 11 carries, so there's enough work to make Hunt seem like a vulture. The two also saw nearly the same number of snaps. In fact, Hunt out-snapped Chubb, 45-42.

All that said, Chubb is just too good and will produce no matter what. There's enough in Cleveland to make both backs fantasy-relevant. Lock Chubb into your lineups this week.
