Nick Chubb Fantasy

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) will remain sidelined for the team's Week 8 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, there appears to be a chance he could return in Week 10, following the team's Week 9 bye. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski reported that Chubb is on schedule in his recovery from the MCL injury he suffered in Week 4. Kareem Hunt will continue to be leaned on heavily until Chubb is able to make his return.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is being put on Injured Reserve on Monday with an MCL injury, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The good news is that Chubb's injury isn't season-ending, but doctors expect him to miss around six weeks. Keep him stashed everywhere, but it's obviously a tough blow for his fantasy managers. With Chubb sidelined, Kareem Hunt, who has been mixing in plenty alongside Chubb the first four weeks, will become a must-start in fantasy lineups. D'Ernest Johnson and Dontrell Hilliard will battle for backup work. The Colts -- Cleveland's Week 5 opponent -- have been a very tough matchup for running backs through four weeks, but Hunt's guaranteed usage will give him RB1 upside.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury suffered during the Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys. Chubb injured his knee early in the win over Dallas and did not return, leaving the door open for Kareem Hunt to handle most of the rushing duties out of the backfield. Before his premature exit, the 24-year-old had 43 yards off of six attempts. If he is forced to miss time, expect Hunt's fantasy stock to rise significantly.
