| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | Well, we knew Nick Chubb was going to be good this year, but we didn't expect him to rumble for two touchdowns against a pretty solid run defense in Kansas City right out of the gates. Chubb finished with 83 yards on the ground and averaged 5.5 YPC. Fantasy managers that have Chubb have to be feeling pretty good about their investment right now and it's only going to get better this week against the Houston Texans run defense. While they didn't surrender a ton of yardage last week to James Robinson and Carlos Hyde, the Texans do not have the type of defense that is going to be able to contain this Browns run game. The offensive line looks dominant in front of him and Chubb legitimately could run for over 200 yards in this one. I'm not projecting that, but it's certainly in the realm of possibilities. He can be viewed as a top-5 option this week. | |
| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | The Cleveland running game is a machine. Chubb plunged into the end zone twice in Week 1 and has now scored at least one touchdown in seven consecutive regular-season games. He's scored 14 times in his last 13 regular-season games. Hunt had a touchdown against the Chiefs, too. He now has 12 TDs in his last 16 games. The Texans gave up a league-high 2,564 rushing yards last year, to the tune of 5.2 yards per carry. This is a golden spot for the Cleveland running backs. | The folks who spent a top-six draft on Elliott might feel panicky after Zeke laid an egg in the Thursday-night opener, but they shouldn't. The Buccaneers had the stingiest run defense in the league last year and make it nearly impossible to do any business between the tackles. Expect Elliott to rebound against a Chargers defense that gave up 90 rushing yards to Antonio Gibson last week. Zeke dominated snaps in Week 1. He had an 84% snap share, while Tony Pollard was only on the field for 20 of the Cowboys' 83 offensive plays. Pollard has no stand-alone value with such a tiny snap share. |
| Zachary Hanshew FantasyPros | Zeke flopped against an elite Bucs' defense, but he'll get an easier test in Week 2 against the Chargers. It's not time to abandon ship yet, but expectations should be tempered until we see a bounce-back performance. | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | The Texans solid Week 1 game was likely an outlier due to drawing Jacksonville and Chubb should be an elite RB1 at home in a great matchup. | Elliott had only 11 rushing attempts and two receptions in the opener. As long as Mike McCarthy fails to commit to the running game, Elliott is no better than a low-upside RB2 against a Chargers D that was 11th against fantasy backs in the opener. |
