Nick Chubb is expected to be used more in the passing game this season, according to RB coach Stump Mitchell. (Cleveland.com)

Fantasy Impact
Mitchell praised Chubb's efforts through training camp and gave a positive outlook for the upcoming season, saying “I think he’s going to be special like he was last year," adding, “He’ll be used a little more in the passing game than he was last year. Nick just continues to improve on the skillset that he has, and I think he has a fantastic skillset." Chubb was a force to be reckoned with last season, racking up nearly 1,000 yards in only nine starts. He caught just 20 passes, so extra involvement in that department would add an extra level of value to the consensus first round fantasy pick.
