    Is Nick Chubb Playing in Week 9?

    Chubb is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Browns’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Nick Chubb in Week 9?

    Chubb was on the field for 35.1% of Cleveland’s offensive snaps in his return to action in Week 7, a rate that we saw spike to 60.1% in the win over the Ravens a week later.

    It’s great to see the role trending in the right direction, but don’t mistake that as an excuse to lock him into your lineups with vintage Chubb expectations.

    In his two games this season, Chubb is averaging just 0.1 yards per carry before contact this season, a tough situation for anyone to produce behind, let alone a running back coming off of a devastating knee injury.

    Whether that number is the result of poor Cleveland blocking, hesitation on Chubb’s part, or a combination of both, it doesn’t really matter. In those games, without room to gather momentum, his ypc after contact is down 32.7% from his career rate.

    Chubb could be an asset when you need him most (Bengals and Dolphins in Weeks 16-17), we just aren’t there yet — not against the Chargers’ defense that is allowing a league-low 1.7 red-zone trips per game.

    Nick Chubb’s Fantasy Points Projection in Week 9

    Chubb is projected to score 11.7 fantasy points in PPR formats. This includes 12.8 rushing attempts for 70.7 yards and 0.3 touchdowns. It also includes 1.3 receptions for 9.9 yards and 0 touchdowns.

    PFN Insights: Los Angeles Chargers Defense

    Seeing the Chargers put together their best performance against Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener is hardly a surprise, and it is a pattern we have seen. The Chargers have dominated against lower-tier quarterbacks such as Gardner Minshew and Bryce Young and then have been closer to the league average when the competition level ramped up. Right now, they appear to be doing enough to make them a playoff team, but can they sustain it?

    Most of their year-long statistics are excellent, but one that stands out as a concern when they face tougher opposition is their ability to get pressure without blitzing (26th). Overwhelming lesser quarterbacks by sending five or more rushers is one thing, but if defenses consistently send extra men against the best quarterbacks and offenses, that is often when they get found out.

    Los Angeles Chargers at Cleveland Browns Insights

    Los Angeles Chargers

    Team: We still haven’t seen 40 total points scored in a Charger game this season (the Browns aren’t exactly explosive on either side of the ball, but even they’ve seen 40 points hit three times this season)

    QB: Over the past two weeks, Justin Herbert is 20-of-24 for 328 yards and a touchdown when throwing out of play-action.

    Offense: In Weeks 1-4, the Bolts averaged 1.5 points per drive. In the past three weeks, however, that number has spiked to 2.0 (up 33.3%).

    Defense: Los Angeles is the only team in the league that can say they’ve recovered as many fumbles as rushing touchdowns they’ve allowed (three).

    Fantasy: This is a low-volume offense, and those situations typically result in touchdowns to pay off fantasy managers – J.K. Dobbins was able to help you out with a short score, but that’s not going to be the norm for a team that ranks 31st in percentage of drives that reach the opponents’ 20-yard line (20.8%, only the Browns have been worse).

    Betting: Unders are 5-1 in the last six Justin Herbert starts in which the Chargers have been a road favorite.

    Cleveland Browns

    Team: Cleveland leads the league in play-action rate this season (19.4%), which they essentially mirrored in Jameis Winston’s first start (19.7%).

    QB: Winston went 8-11 when throwing deep downfield (15-plus air yards) on Sunday against the Ravens, totaling 167 yards and two touchdowns.

    Offense: The Browns completed just 19.2% of their third downs through Week 6. Against the Bengals in Week 7, they were eight-of-19 (42.1%) and, in the upset win over the Ravens on Sunday, eight-of-15 (53.3%).

    Defense: Cleveland leads the NFL in pressure rate this season (42.7%) and made Lamar Jackson uncomfortable on 50% of his dropbacks last weekend (the second time this season, they created chaos on at least half of their opponents’ pass attempts.

    Fantasy: David Njoku has scored in consecutive weeks and can be used as a weekly option across all formats with confidence as the featured pass catcher in the fourth most pass-oriented offense when inside the red zone.

    Betting: Since the beginning of last season, the Browns are 7-2 ATS when playing at home with a total that closes under 40 points (unders are 6-2-1 in those games).
