CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Nick Chubb's Week 12 sets up nicely for fantasy purposes with the Browns being 6.5 point favorites on the road against Jacksonville. The Jaguars struggle to stop most positions, and that includes opposing running games. Chubb has cleared 100 rushing yards in 4-of-6 games he's playing in this season, and in one of the other games, he suffered an injury part of the way through. Chubb should see plenty of work in this game, and there will likely be plenty of opportunity to go around for both he and Kareem Hunt to be fantasy starters. The only concern for Chubb is his lack of red-zone usage, where the team clearly prefers Hunt's skillset. Even with diminished usage at the goal line, Chubb has a great chance at scoring this week and should see plenty of usage if the Browns can maintain a lead. He's a high-end RB2 at worst and could easily finish as an RB1 this week.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt combined for 41 carries in Chubb's return during Week 10. Chubb netted 19 of those carries and looked like his old self by posting 126 yards for a healthy 6.6 YPC. Chubb even left points on the field when he refused to score a touchdown late in the game to keep possession and seal the victory for the Browns. It will be interesting to see how Cleveland splits the running back touches going forward and if they were easing Chubb back into action by giving Hunt an equal amount of carries. The Eagles run defense is solid, but a good volume projection and Chubb's rushing talent make him startable as a RB2 this week.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Houston Texans
It sounds like Nick Chubb should return from his sprained MCL for Week 10 against the Texans. Chubb walks back into borderline RB1 status facing off with Houston's terrible run defense. Kareem Hunt will still monopolize most of the pass-catching work, but there should be plenty to go around for both backs in Week 10 as the Texans have allowed more rushing yards than any team in the league in 2020. It is possible the Browns choose to ease Chubb back into the gameplan coming off his extended absence, but those concerns are not enough to move Chubb out of lineups in a plus matchup. Start Chubb with confidence so long as he gets activated before Sunday.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Nick Chubb sprained his MCL in Week 4 and will be out for at least a month. Kareem Hunt should operate as a bellcow for Cleveland in Chubb's absence.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Dallas Cowboys
Nick Chubb has looked great the past two weeks by posting back-to-back 100 yard games and four touchdowns. Week 4 against the Cowboys will be a different beast with game script projected to favor more passing from Cleveland. Dallas is currently sixth in the league in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to running backs. The tough matchup isn't Chubb's only concern, as he continues to be minimally involved in the passing game (three targets in three games) and Kareem Hunt could consume even more work than usual this week if the Browns fall behind early to Dak Prescott and the high-powered Cowboys offense. Chubb's rushing workload and immense talent make him startable as a RB2, but he carries plenty of risk for a disappointing performance this week.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Washington Football Team
Nick Chubb's performance through two weeks has exhibited both his immense talent and his risky usage profile. Week 2 against the Bengals showed us what Chubb is capable of. He turned 22 carries into 124 yards and two touchdowns, consistently shedding tacklers and punishing defenders at the second level. Few players can move the ball on the ground with Chubb's combination of speed and ferocity, but he loses plenty of work to Kareem Hunt, particularly in negative game scripts. Working in Chubb's favor this week is a projected positive game script against the Washington Football Team. The Browns are favored by a full touchdown, but Chubb will have to deal with a Washington front seven that has smothered the run to this point in the season. The tough matchup lowers Chubb to RB2 status but he should still be started in all leagues as he should see plenty of carries this week.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Nick Chubb's efficiency was on display against the Ravens, but so was the risk that he brings every week in fantasy. Chubb averaged 6.0 YPC against Baltimore, but only received 10 carries and one target as the Browns fell behind early and had to play catch up with the passing game. This week's matchup against the Bengals is a significant upgrade, and Chubb projects for a much larger workload Thursday night. Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley combined to post 4.6 YPC on 31 carries against the Bengals in Week 1. Neither of those backs is close to the pure runner Chubb is. Start Chubb as a solid RB1 this week.
