Scouting report

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Denver Broncos

Despite a tough matchup, Nick Chubb was able to deliver a solid rushing performance last week, finishing with 131 yards. He did, however, fumble the ball twice. Chubb has put together a great season so far, and he's riding the hot hand as he's averaging about 140 scrimmage yards over the past four games. Expect his production to continue this week as he gets a decent matchup against the Broncos. Denver is allowing an average of 24.09 fantasy points to backs per week, and Chubb has dominated Cleveland's backfield in 2019. Trust him as your RB1.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at New England Patriots

Nick Chubb has played well this season, finishing with at least 85 scrimmage yards in every game. He's only had fewer than 20 touches in one game so far, and has scored six times so far in his six games played. In short: he's a good running back who can be relied on most weeks. However, this may not be one of those weeks. Chubb gets a brutal matchup against the Patriots who are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. No back has scored on them (rushing or receiving) and it wouldn't be surprising to see Chubb have an off-game. Having said, though, Chubb can still produce this week and his talent makes him tough to bench. Unless you have studs ahead of him, it'd be difficult to advise benching Chubb this week.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Nick Chubb had a solid game last week as the Browns had to rely on him for production while Baker Mayfield kept throwing incomplete passes. Chubb ran for 87 yards while catching one pass for 12 yards. He's had double-digit numbers every week in PPR formats and pretty much hogs all the touches in Cleveland's backfield. Even when he has a "down" game, he usually at least does enough to make you not angry with him. He gets a decent matchup against the Seahawks this week and should hit that 100+ yard mark with a decent chance for a touchdown. He's an easy RB1 play in Week 6.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at San Francisco 49ers

Nick Chubb had a huge game last week, highlighted by an 88-yard score. But even aside from that big play, he played well in the matchup finishing 20-165-3 on the ground. He even added 18 yards on three receptions. He's now at 497 scrimmage yards on the season, with at least 85 yards in every game. He's dominating Cleveland's backfield for touches and should be a solid start the rest of the season. He does get a brutal matchup this week against the 49ers, though. San Francisco is allowing just 60 rush yards per game while not giving up a single score to a back. Chubb should still be viewed as an RB1, but be warned he may struggle.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Baltimore Ravens

Nick Chubb has 20+ touches in three straight games to open the season and is averaging 100 scrimmage yards per game. He played 70 of the team's 72 offensive snaps in Week 3, meaning his backups are hardly even seeing the field. It's rare to have a running back who is so involved in the offense, and when you get one, you'll want to start them every week. Chubb does get a tough matchup against the Ravens this week. Baltimore is allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs with the second-fewest rushing yards (152) to the position). Despite the tough matchup, we still like Chubb as an RB1.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Only four running backs have 20 or more touches in the first two games this season, and Nick Chubb is one of them. He hasn't been incredible on the field, but that doesn't really matter for fantasy. He finished with 85 scrimmage yards in Week 1 (with a touchdown vultured away) and 98 scrimmage yards in Week 2 with a score. As long as Chubb keeps getting touches, he'll remain a must-start option at running back.

He gets a favorable matchup this week as the Rams have allowed fifth-most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Most of that was due to Christian McCaffrey's big game in Week 1. But it proves this defense can be run on, making Chubb an easy RB1 in Week 3.

CLE RB Nick Chubb - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at New York Jets

As expected, Nick Chubb dominated the backfield touches for Cleveland in Week 1. He carried the ball 17 times, compared to just two times for his backups. Unfortunately for Chubb owners, however, one of those two carries to his backups went for a touchdown as Chubb was unable to score. But Chubb still finished with 85 scrimmage yards, which is a good game for him.

He'll face a favorable Jets defense, which just allowed 128 rushing yards to the Bills in Week 1. It's hard to find a back these days that isn't in a committee, so when you have one, you start them with confidence. Chubb is a strong RB1 option in Week 2.
