  Nick Chubb Plans To Play In Final Two Games

  Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot) said he'll be playing in the final two games of the regular season and said there was no consideration otherwise. Chubb has been playing through a minor foot injury in recent weeks, but he's come just shy of the 100-yard mark in each of the last two games, carrying the ball 45 times for 191 yards and no touchdowns while catching one pass for 10 yards. The Browns are eliminated from postseason contention, but he will continue to serve as their workhorse running back in Weeks 17 and 18 against the Washington Commanders and Pittsburgh Steelers. Fantasy managers playing for a championship in the next two weeks need to leave him locked into their lineups as an RB1.

  Nick Chubb Good To Go For Week 16

  Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot) is good to go for the Week 16 game against the New Orleans Saints on Saturday. Chubb missed the first two practice days of the week, but he was able to return to the field on Thursday, setting him up for his normal role as Cleveland's backfield leader on Christmas Eve. The RB6 in overall fantasy points in half-point PPR setups this year, Chubb is an absolute must-start in the fantasy playoffs as an RB1 at home in a game that could feature inclement weather. The Saints defense has been right around the middle of the pack in terms of half-point PPR points allowed to the running back position per game in 2022 (20.1). Lock Chubb into your lineups with confidence this weekend.

  Nick Chubb Misses Second Straight Practice

  Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot) didn't practice on Wednesday. The superstar running back has missed the past two days of practice because of the injury. Yet, fantasy players shouldn't panic, as the former Georgia Bulldog still has a few days to practice before Saturday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Even if Chubb doesn't practice this week, that necessarily won't keep him from playing Saturday. However, he has struggled since Deshaun Watson's return, averaging only 71 rushing yards and 8.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Nonetheless, fantasy players should start Chubb, assuming he is active this week.

  Nick Chubb Misses Practice Tuesday

  Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot) did not participate in practice on Tuesday due to a foot injury. It's not what fantasy managers want to hear in the middle of the fantasy postseason. He a season-high 70 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 15 win over the Baltimore Ravens and had 20-plus carries for the fifth time in 2022, so perhaps his foot injury isn't all that serious. We'll know more later this week, and Chubb still has two more days to return to practice. If the 26-year-old is active, he's a must-start, high-end RB1 as the RB6 in overall points in half-point PPR scoring. If Chubb's foot injury keeps him out this Saturday against the New Orleans Saints, Kareem Hunt would likely operate as the lead back and would be a plug-and-play RB2. We'll keep a close eye on Chubb's status the rest of the week.
