2020 Fantasy Football: Final preseason target and avoid lists
By Ryan McCloy
Nick Chubb, RB CLE
Nick Chubb is a committee RB. Let’s not forget that, please. He will be in for the first snap of the season when the Browns’ offense takes the field.
However, Kareem Hunt is still there and still relevant. Last season, once Hunt returned, Nick Chubb’s points per game dropped from 18.9 to 12.9. A difference of SIX POINTS PER GAME.
A season of 18.9 points per game would have been RB7 for 2019. A season of 12.9 points per game would have been RB25 last season. With a RB1 ADP, and RB3 production with Hunt in the fold, I may even have him ranked too high.
As of this writing, Chubb is being drafted in slot 14.3, 9th highest ADP, and 8th among RBs. He is ranked as my 14th highest RB and even that may be a bit generous. Don’t pay the premium for Chubb. He only hits value here if Hunt gets hurt.
