Nick Chubb likely to win early-down duties for Browns

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Nick Chubb should "get the bulk of the early-down carries", ESPN's Pat McManamon writes.

What It Means:

Second-rounder Chubb and free agent acquisition Carlos Hyde are competing for early-down carries, although it seems likely a committee will be the eventual approach. Duke Johnson will keep his role on passing downs, as well.

Our models project Chubb for 572 rushing yards and 2.2 touchdowns on 142 carries, along with 18 receptions for 139 yards and 0.5 touchdowns. He's our 44th-best running back for fantasy football in the 2018 season, behind both Hyde and Johnson for now.
