Carlos Hyde Fantasy Football Outlook (2018)

He's someone I was targeting in best-ball leagues as a low-end RB2 prior to the NFL Draft, as I do believe the Browns are going to be run-heavy in 2018. While that's still going to be the case, them drafting Nick Chubb in the second-round was the worst-case scenario for Hyde (outside of them taking Saquon Barkley). Chubb is essentially a younger version of Hyde, but faster. I still believe Hyde gets the bulk of the workload on what is essentially a one-year deal, but there's risk that Chubb takes over at some point. Update: With the way the Browns have used Hyde in Weeks 2 and 3 of the preseason, it's clear that he's the starter as we head into the season. Chubb will always be threatening his role, but it might be enough to keep Hyde trucking along.
