Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injury to Nick Chubb (knee).
The 1-5 Browns will get a much-needed dose of hope when Nick Chubb ($6,000) makes his long-anticipated return this Sunday. While the star running back is always dangerous, expectations will need to be managed. This is Chubb’s first game since tearing his MCL and damaging his ACL last year against the Steelers. Can fantasy managers expect instant production against a weak Bengals defense?
Is Chubb set up for a vintage performance, or should fantasy managers stay away? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts on the Browns’ star during Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Steve isn’t expecting your traditional twenty-carry Chubb game. The Browns have been very pass-heavy this season, only running the ball on 37% of their plays.
- The Bengals are six-point favorites this week. That doesn’t signal a run-first approach for Cleveland.
- On top of the game factors, Meghan is worried about how Chubb will look on the field in his first appearance since suffering such a gruesome injury.
