Nick Chubb Fantasy

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb was held in check in a 33-23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. Chubb carried the ball 13 times for 41 yards and added a one-yard reception in the loss. It goes in the books as a disappointing outing for Chubb, who was facing off against a Cincinnati defense that has struggled against the run this season. The second-year running back will likely finish the 2019 season as the NFL's rushing leader. The organization is likely to undergo changes this offseason, including possibly a new head coach, but Chubb can be locked in as a solid RB1 in fantasy for the 2020 season.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb sets up as a solid RB1 in his season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have struggled to stop the run this season, ranking 28th in DVOA and allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the running back position. Chubb racked up 106 rushing yards on just 15 carries back when these two teams met in Week 14. If your league plays into Week 17, treat Chubb as a solid RB1 for the championship round. He is also worth considering in all DFS contests, especially on FanDuel and other 0.5-point PPR sites where his lack of activity in the passing game won't hurt him as much as it does on DraftKings.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 15 times for 45 yards in a 31-15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16 while failing to haul in his lone target. Chubb struggled to get going against a Baltimore run defense that he torched for three touchdowns when these teams met back in Week 4. His longest run went for 12 yards on an afternoon where Cleveland was forced into a negative game script by the explosive Baltimore offense. Chubb will be a solid bounce-back candidate in Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
