We're almost to the end of Week 13 of NFL action. It's Monday, though, so we have one more game, which will feature the Denver Broncos and the Cleveland Browns at Mile High Stadium. Denver is coming off a curb-stomping of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12, while the Browns shocked and embarrassed the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football last week.
Now, the two will clash in what is expected to be an interesting game. It will likely have plenty of fantasy implications, as both teams have big-name players in fantasy football.
Let's break down three of those players and whether you should start them or leave them on your benches.
Should I Start Nick Chubb for Fantasy Football?
Against a tough Denver Broncos defense, Chubb is a low-end RB3. He'll be reliant on touchdowns to boost his fantasy performance. He hasn't looked anything like his old self so far in 2024, which isn't a surprise, considering he suffered a devastating knee injury in 2023.

It would be wrong to say he's all the way back. He averages less than 3.1 yards per carry on the season and has only caught three passes in five games, so he doesn't have the efficiency or pass-catching upside to overcome a lack of rushing scores. In deeper leagues, he's a fine start, but it's hard to trust him in leagues with 12 or fewer teams.
Should I Start Bo Nix for Fantasy Football?
Yes. Even when he doesn't have stellar passing performances, his mobility helps him have good days for the fantasy stat sheet. He's in a great offense run by head coach Sean Payton, and he's scored double-digit fantasy points in every game since after Week 4. There isn't much reason to bench the QB7, anyway.

He should be started every week now, regardless of matchup.
Should I Start Jameis Winston for Fantasy Football?
The chances of this game becoming a shootout seem decently high, so it's probably a good idea to start Winston in deeper leagues. He's missing one of his receivers, Cedric Tillman (concussion), who won't be able to play this game. But he has a decent array of weapons to work with, and he's a gunslinger.

Unfortunately, it's a tough matchup for him. The Broncos have allowed the fourth-least fantasy points to opposing QBs this season. So he's not a great starter in leagues with 12 or fewer teams.
