Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Baker Mayfield

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 20 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns while adding a one-yard reception in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Chubb's performance was the story of the game on a cold, snowy evening in Cleveland. He provided a spark for the Browns with short touchdown runs in the second and fourth quarters, with the second TD being the game-winning score for Cleveland. Chubb has now scored three touchdowns and rushed for 222 yards across five games this season. He will be a high-end RB3 in Week 13's Monday night game against the Denver Broncos.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was held in check by the San Francisco 49ers defense on Sunday. Mayfield has been incredible throughout most of the season, but didn't have the same success this weekend. He completed 18-of-29 passing attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown in the three-point loss. Mayfield showed heart in this game and even stiff armed his way to giving his team the lead with less than a minute left. Fantasy managers shouldn't get frustrated by this performance. Mayfield is likely to get wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back after the bye week. The expectation is that Mayfield will resume his QB1 ways in Week 12 against the New York Giants.
