The Cleveland Browns will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Nick Chubb.
Is Nick Chubb Playing in Week 11?
Chubb is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Nick Chubb in Week 11?
It’s OK. It’s OK to root for Nick Chubb. His recovery story is a good one, and he’s generally a fun player to watch. At this point, however, your investment has to end there until we see him produce anything close to the elite form that comes to mind when you hear his name.
Entering the Week 10 bye, there were 56 running backs with at least 40 carries this season. Chubb ranked 56th in boom/bust rate (the difference in the percentage of carries gaining at least 10 yards and the percentage of carries failing to gain yardage: -31%).
That might not be entirely Chubb’s fault (he ranks 49th on that list in percentage of carries against a loaded box, Jerome Ford ranks 56th), but for purposes of setting a lineup, I really don’t care where the blame lies.
Could Chubb peak down the stretch of this season? It’s possible given the schedule, but this is a running back approaching his 29th birthday, who plays for a dead team and is a UFA this summer — I’m not optimistic.
