Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Dec. 18.
Huddle Up: Jerome Ford will be an RB2 for the rest of the season. D'Onta Foreman could also have some value in short-yardage situations and is a flex candidate.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) suffered a broken foot in the Week 15 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Sunday, Dec. 15. Chubb finished with 41 rushing yards on nine attempts with no catches on one target in what will be his final game of 2024.
Huddle Up: Chubb has had terrible luck in the past two seasons. He returned from a gruesome knee injury suffered in Week 2 at Pittsburgh last season, and he just never seemed to have the same kind of pre-injury burst. After this season-ending injury, it's entirely possible we've seen Chubb's last game in a Cleveland uniform. Jerome Ford will be the primary back for the remainder of the season, with Pierre Strong and D'Onta Foreman as other potential options.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) suffered a foot injury during the Week 15 game and has been ruled out.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Chubb will have a chance to play in the Week 16 game. Jerome Ford will receive most of the work is Chubb misses time and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb rushed 11 times for 48 yards in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Chubb has struggled to produce explosive plays since returning from injury, and in recent weeks, his carries have been limited with the Browns playing from behind. There is a chance that Chubb won't be more than a touchdown-dependent flex option the rest of the year.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb rushed nine times for just 21 yards in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, while adding two receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown on his two targets.
Huddle Up: Chubb was on the bench for a long period from early in the second quarter to early in the second half, although head coach Kevin Stefanski said, per the telecast, that it wasn't due to any kind of injury. Jerome Ford split the rushing attempts right down the middle with Chubb, who averaged only 2.3 yards per carry to 4.6 for Ford. The touchdown was nice, but the lack of touches was concerning for Chubb and his fantasy managers. The Steelers host the Browns in Week 14.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb carried the ball 20 times for 59 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, Nov. 21. He added a one-yard reception.
Huddle Up: There was good and bad for Chubb on Thursday night. For the former, he found the end zone twice and racked up 20 carries, both of which were season highs. For the latter, his long run was seven yards, and he averaged just 3.0 per carry -- the fourth time in five games he's posted less than 3.5 YPC. He'll get a little extra rest before taking on Denver in Week 13, but between the altitude and a strong run defense, Chubb would be a risk as more than an RB3/flex.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb rushed 11 times for 50 yards in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: It's been a slow go for Chubb since returning from a gruesome knee injury suffered in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. He missed over a calendar year recovering, and he averaged just 2.7 yards per attempt in his first three games back. This was a promising effort, and he can safely be treated as a low-end RB2 or flex fantasy option in all leagues heading into Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb faces the New Orleans Saints in Week 11, and the Saints have allowed the third-most rushing touchdowns and the second-must yards per carry this season.
Huddle Up: Chubb has struggled in his three games since returning from a knee injury, averaging just 2.7 yards per carry. On the plus side, he has logged at least 11 carries in every contest, and a meeting with the Saints could allow him to make the most of those touches. Chubb has RB2 potential.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb rushed 15 times for just 39 yards in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers, while adding a one catch for minus-4 yards on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Chubb was facing a tough defense, and he didn't do much. In his two games back after being off for a more than a full calendar year, it's been a slow go for Chubb. He and the Browns are off in Week 10. When he returns, treat Chubb as more of a RB3 or flex fantasy option until he starts to get going.
