BALLER MOVE: Start Chubb if you have running backs on a bye or play in a deeper league
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4
ANALYSIS: Nick Chubb hasn't played since Week 2 of the 2023 season when he tore his ACL against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. While he has been a very explosive running back, the Browns offense has been downright dreadful in 2024.
After making the playoffs in 2023, the Cleveland Browns have watched their season slip away after a 1-5 start. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has been the worst starting quarterback in the league, but the team could really use a spark.
Nick Chubb is HIM.
Amazing comeback story that I'm definitely using to convince injured kids they can get back to full speed.

Despite Jerome Ford, D'Onta Foreman, and Pierre Strong Jr. on the depth chart, it's pretty clear that a healthy Chubb is the team's clear RB1.
The Browns face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6, who have been one of the worst defenses in the league, but exactly how much will Chubb play in his first game back?
We should temper our expectations and see how Chubb looks in his first return to game action before confidently putting him in any of our fantasy lineups.
