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.

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler has been quiet as the primary backup this season. In fact, Chandler has rushed for 30 yards or less in every game but one this season. Chandler only saw two carries during last week's loss to the Detroit Lions. However, Chandler could see a bigger role in Week 8 with lead back Aaron Jones (hamstring) on the injury report. It's a short week as the Vikings play the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. The absence of Jones would mean Chandler likely becomes the lead back with Cam Akers being his primary backup. Chandler saw 14 carries in Week 5 and only managed 30 yards on the ground. Fantasy managers in desperate need of running back help should stash Chandler, but he's not worth even considering starting unless Jones sits out.
