Nick Chubb (RB, CLE) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN:  43% of Leagues

UPDATE: It has been reported on Friday 10/19 that Carlos Hyde has been traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

ANALYSIS: Nick Chubb stands to benefit the most after the trade of Hyde to the Jaguars. He should see most of the running back carries and volume, with Duke Johnson getting an expanded role in the passing game.

Even though an average of three touches per game would normally preclude a back from consideration as a roster addition, the vast majority of runners do not possess the talent of Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb. He has averaged at least 7.0 YPC in five of the six games in which he has played, and his explosiveness continues to provide justification for believing that he will eventually procure a much larger workload before the season progresses much further.

As of this update, Chubb is still only owned in 43% of fantasy football leagues. If he's still out there on your waiver wire, go grab him immediately. He has a chance to return RB2 value the rest of the way, and needs to be added in all fantasy leagues.
