Bradley Chubb

The Broncos have ruled out linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) ahead of their Week 1 game against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb did not practice on Wednesday, then saw limited action on Thursday and Friday. Rather than force him into action during the first week of the season, it looks like Denver will hold him out until he's 100 percent healthy. Jonathon Cooper is projected to draw the start in Chubb's place.

Broncos LB Bradley Chubb has been listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Giants with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb's 2020 season was cut short with an ankle injury, and it ended up requiring surgery. The ankle flared up in training camp, and the team has been cautious since. The Broncos can't wait to get the duo of Von Miller and Chubb back on the field together again wreaking havoc on opposing QBs. The Broncos D/ST should be started on Sunday against the Giants and a turnover-prone Daniel Jones.

Bradley Chubb is expected to be ready for training camp.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb underwent surgery back in May to remove bone spurs from his ankle. It isn't expected to have a significant impact on his involvement leading into training camp, though his conditioning will be monitored early on.

Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb underwent a minor ankle procedure this past week. The operation, which focused on removing a bone spur, and subsequent recovery will hold Chubb out of OTAs, though he is expected to be ready for training camp. This surgery was related to the ankle injury that forced Chubb out of action for the final two weeks of the 2020 season.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb, 24, logged a solid junior season in the Broncos' defense. Over 14 games, he picked up 7.5 sacks, 42 tackles (including nine for loss), 19 QB hits, and one forced fumble. The former fifth overall pick out of North Carolina State ranks 29th among linebackers in the latest expert consensus rankings. He's expected to make a full recovery and should have a huge role in a Denver defense that is suddenly quite terrifying.

Bradley Chubb, who has been dealing with a ankle injury, will not be active Sunday afternoon against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

No surprise here as the Broncos have no reason to push Chubb out in a 5-10 season. He'll get to play again in 2021.
