Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Drake London

Friday, December 20, 12:19 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot), who suffered a season-ending broken foot in the Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, is headed for free agency in March, and The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that it's hard to say what Chubb's future in Cleveland might be. Jerome Ford will be the team's clear lead runner over the final three games of the season, with Pierre Strong Jr. and D'Onta Foreman also being evaluated in bigger roles. Strong is a candidate to return in 2025, but Foreman is not. Chubb is a popular player in the locker room and among fans, but the Browns must determine how much they think he has left after ending each of the last two seasons on Injured Reserve due to injuries. The 28-year-old four-time Pro Bowler may never be the same after suffering a gruesome knee injury early in 2023. In just eight games in 2024, Chubb didn't look the same and averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per tote.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimation. The Falcons didn't actually practice on Wednesday, so their injury report is merely a projection of how much London and his teammates would have participated if they did have a formal practice. Seeing any player appear on the injury report in the fantasy playoffs can be concerning, so fantasy managers should certainly stay vigilant and monitor London's practice status over the next couple of days. The good news, though, is that players who are limited Wednesday can typically log a full session by Friday and suit up for Sunday's game. As of now, London should be able to play against the Washington Commanders, ranking as a high-end fantasy WR2 despite the Falcons' recent quarterback switch from Kirk Cousins to Michael Penix Jr.
