2022 rushing yards rank: 6th
2022 yards per carry rank: 11th

Nick Chubb continues to be one of the best running backs of the modern era. Since entering the league in 2018, he is second in total rushing yards (6,348), behind only Derrick Henry.

Last season, Defenses were keyed in on Chubb with the Browns’ pass offense struggling. Nevertheless, he still rushed for 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns. He finished third in the NFL in both yards after contact (695) and broken tackles (28). He also led the league in rush yards over expected (389), according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

In six games, quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled as a passer, but he rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown. His mobility gives this group a slight boost.

Former No. 2 running back Kareem Hunt remains a free agent, so Jerome Ford and Demetric Felton Jr. project to take on larger roles this season.
