Nick Chubb A Solid Play In Week 2
4 years agoCleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb had a slow afternoon in his team's Week 1 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Chubb finished with just 11 total touches for 66 yards, six fewer touches than backup Kareem Hunt. Of course, the Browns fell behind early in that contest and shifted into catch-up mode, a game script that benefits Hunt over Chubb. Chubb should bounce back in Week 2's Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincy's defense allowed the Los Angeles Chargers running backs to total 148 rushing yards and a score in their season opener. With the Browns playing at home as six-point favorites, look for the game script to favor Chubb this week. Shake off his Week 1 outing and fire Chubb up as a low-end RB1 in Week 2.
