Nick Chubb a Low-End RB1 in Week 8
5 years agoCleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb should be well-rested coming off of his Week 7 bye. He will have his work cut out for him as he draws a tough road matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 8. New England's run defense has been stout this season, ranking eighth in DVOA and allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. Chubb is an extremely talented runner and has the three-down role all to himself in Cleveland, which keeps him in the RB1 conversation, but it would be wise to temper expectations for the second-year runner in Week 8. Treat him as a low-end RB1 for this matchup.
