Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Chase Brown

Sunday, October 27, 8:33 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 16 times for 52 yards while failing to haul in either of his two targets in a 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Chubb, playing in his second game of the season, ran harder and looked more decisive than he did in his season debut last week as he gets further removed from a 2023 torn ACL. While he didn't find the end zone, the entire Cleveland offense looked the best they have all season with Jameis Winston making his first start of the season. That fact bodes well for Chubb's rest of season outlook in fantasy as he will benefit from a functional offense around him. Treat Chubb as a solid RB3 heading into Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 32 yards off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added two catches for two yards. While Brown had trouble getting anything going on the ground, he at least found the end zone in Week 8, scoring off a four-yard run in the third quarter. Even more encouraging for Brown's fantasy managers, Zack Moss would finish this one with only five attempts. The 24-year-old has now had at least one touchdown in five of the Bengals' last six outings, keeping him a starting fantasy option in Week 9 versus the visiting Las Vegas Raiders.
