Chubb turned in another quiet game, although the 4.4 yards per carry go down as his second-best effort of the season. The veteran running back has scored four all-purpose touchdowns but has struggled to get much going on the ground across his seven contests this season. Settling in as a boom/bust RB3 as the fantasy playoffs approach, Chubb will take on the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 15.

He will look to bounce back on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14.

Nick Chubb's Minimal Role In Week 11 Was By Design
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that the team's short turnaround this Thursday night against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 played a role in running back Nick Chubb only playing 22 snaps on offense on Sunday in the Week 11 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Chubb finished with 11 carries for 50 yards and was not targeted through the air for the first time since making his 2024 debut on Oct. 20 in the loss to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals.
