Fantasy Football Player Notes

Nick Chubb disappointed fantasy managers in last week's matchup, but the Ravens got ahead early and Chubb was game-scripted out. While this is something that managers will have to be concerned about for future games, Chubb should be a key part of this matchup. With the Browns favored to win, it's likely that Chubb sees a significant increase in his usage this week, which should be music to everyone's ears. He can be started as a safe RB2 with RB1 upside this week.

Chubb should garner at least 16 touches in this game and produce like a low-end RB1/high-end RB2. Hunt is a bit trickier, as we don't know if his role that netted 17 touches was a product of gamescript, or if the Browns really view this as a 50/50 split. No matter the case, the running backs should approach 30 touches this week, which means Hunt should be locked into a minimum of 12 touches, and a RB2/3-type start with upside for more if this is a true split.
