Browns Activate John Kelly From COVID-19 List
3 years agoThe Cleveland Browns activated running back John Kelly from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. It's not the running back that fantasy managers were hoping would be activated -- that would be Nick Chubb. Chubb, Kelly and rookie Demetric Felton were all unavailable in the Week 10 blowout loss to the New England Patriots while on the COVID-19 list, but there's optimism that both Chubb and Felton will return in time for this Sunday's game against the winless Lions. D'Ernest Johnson had the backfield all to himself last Sunday and nearly posted his second 100-yard rushing game, but he'll lose most of his fantasy appeal again if Chubb returns. The Lions have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to RBs this season, so Chubb has a cake matchup as a must-start RB1 as long as he's activated before Sunday. Kareem Hunt (calf) will remain on Injured Reserve for at least another week.
