Fantasy Football Player Notes

Chubb missed Sunday's Week 6 game against the Cardinals due to a calf injury, but Kareem Hunt (who entered the game with multiple other ailments) exited with a calf injury of his own. As of Sunday night, it's unclear what to expect for Cleveland's backfield availability in Week 7. However, Hunt's injury appeared to be serious. Chubb could receive career-best usage for however long he's sidelined for. As of now he appears to be the healthier RB.

Most fantasy managers are likely still starting Cooper in Week 16 (if you fortunate enough to advance despite his eight-yard afternoon). However, he has just 14 targets over his past three games. The Cowboys want to run the ball and have a plethora of mouths to feed among their pass catchers. Frustratingly, the offense hasn't even been that efficient lately. Cooper is more of a WR3 moving forward.

Hunt is running a bit hot when it comes to touchdown "luck" entering Week 6. Fantasy managers should expect the rushing scores to regress. Ultimately, though, Hunt's Combination of passing-down work, change of pace role, and functioning as the "closer" ensures that he'll receive touches no matter the game script.
