Nick Chubb Draws Tough Playoff Matchup
4 years agoCleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb draws a difficult matchup as he gears up to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. Chubb was only lightly used in Week 17 against this same Steelers team, as he saw just 14 carries. There's a chance that Cleveland chose to take it easy on Chubb to preserve him for the playoffs, so look for Chubb to be a larger part of the team's game plan in the wild-card game. He does have several factors working against him, though, as the team will be without Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio and head coach/play-caller Kevin Stefanski for the contest due to COVID-19. Fantasy managers participating in playoff leagues should treat Chubb as a low-end RB1 for this weekend's slate of games.
