START ‘EM – RB

. Running Back. Browns. Nick Chubb. 2. player. 53

The lucky running back who gets the Chiefs defense this week is Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns! Chubb didn’t have a great outing last week versus the Steelers, but the Chiefs are a much more favorable match-up for the rookie running back.

Kansas City is constantly getting gashed on the ground. Last week they allowed Phillip Lindsay to put up nearly 100 yards on the day and he was averaging over five yards per carry. This lines up nicely for those who have Chubb on their fantasy team.

With Carlos Hyde in Jacksonville now, it appears Chubb is the main running back for the Browns. Duke Johnson had just two carries last week while Chubb had 18. This means the Browns are going to lean on the rookie to carry the load and he’ll get more than enough chances this weekend against a lousy Chiefs run defense.
