Browns reduced RB Nick Chubb's snaps for Week 11

Nov 18, 2024

Kevin Stefanski said the short turnaround to Thursday night played a role in RB Nick Chubb only playing 22 snaps against the Saints.

Fantasy Impact:

The Browns play the Steelers this Thursday night and the hope would be Chubb is unleashed a bit more. Chubb ran 11 times for 50 yards this past week. Ford had five carries and four catches for 29 yards in the game while Strong had two rushes. Chubb averaged 4.5 YPC, but it might be tough to trust him in a game against the Steelers. There is some hope, though, as the Ravens Derrick Henry did have a 13-65-0 line against Pittsburg this past week. Chubb owners just need to hope his snaps won't be reduced again.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
