4. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns (vs. LV)

Nick Chubb is coming off of back to back games against the Ravens, who seemed to have his number this season as he finished with 16 yards in the first meeting and 59 in the other. However, he’s in a prime bounce back spot this week against a bad Raiders defense.

Chubb takes on the Raiders, who allow 125.3 rushing yards per game, which is seventh-most in the league. In fantasy terms, they allow the third-most fantasy points to running backs. Chubb’s matchup is especially mouthwatering due to Kareem Hunt’s ankle injury that has him unlikely to play in Week 15.

Chubb’s matchup as well as his clear path to workhorse status has him seeing a top-10 floor this week with the upside to finish among the top three in running backs this week.
