Nick Chubb
With Carlos Hyde traded to Jacksonville, Chubb has been given a bigger role in the Cleveland backfield. The Georgia product has been a nice addition to the running game for the Browns.
While Chubb’s carries aren’t quite up there yet in volume, he’s averaging 7.4 yards-per-carry. That’s a staggering number. The Steelers have struggled at times with stopping the run and Chubb is more than capable of picking up chunks of yards for the Cleveland offense.
While it might have made more sense to put Jarvis Landry in our list of dangerous players, with Joe Haden more than likely shadowing Landry, Chubb may provide more matchup issues with the Steelers being the league’s 11th ranked rush defense.
While the rush defense has been better over the past few weeks, it’s not a foregone conclusion that a guy like Chubb should just be forgotten about.
