Before Week 4 of the NFL has come to a complete, Nick Chubb is expected to practice Week 5.
Great news for Cleveland fans, Nick Chubb is expected back to practice for the first time in 2024. Coming off a devastating knee injury in week 2 of the 2023 season. If Chubb does come off PUP and start practice, he will be eligible to play as early as week 7. This is huge news for a team trying to take advantage of a strong defense and an offense needing an identity.
The fantasy implications of Chubb returning this season is an interesting one. Chubb should provide a spark for the Browns, allowing players like Watson and Cooper to see an uptick in fantasy. Jerome Ford will of course still be a factor while slowly bringing along Chubb. I don’t expect Chubb to have any value until closer to the end of the season. Depending on how they utilize him. He is worth a deep stash for 2024.
