Nick Chubb Draws Favorable Week 3 Matchup
4 years agoCleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has a favorable Week 3 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Washington's defense has been stout against the pass through two games but has struggled to contain opposing running backs, ranking just 21st in run defense DVOA. Kareem Hunt's increased role in the offense through two games makes Chubb's weekly outlook rather game script dependent but he is in a good spot in Week 3. Washington doesn't have a very good offense so they are unlikely to build a big lead, especially on the road as seven-point underdogs against Cleveland. Chubb should see plenty of work in a run-heavy Cleveland offense, making him a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 for Week 3.
