Nick Chubb, RB, Cleveland Browns

DraftKings Price: $6,300
Projected Points: 14.7

The Cleveland Browns are implied to score just 21.75 points and are road underdogs by 3.0 points to the Cincinnati Bengals. Normally, I would not want to target a running back in this scenario. While it's common to target home field running backs on teams that are favorite's (due to game script), Nick Chubb is still a fantastic option for tournaments in Week 12.

Chubb has had 18 or more carries in four straight games, and has started to be used more in the passing game over the last three games (2 receptions per game). While the receptions are nothing special, the extra 16 yards receiving he's averaged and those 2 catches do provide us with a nice 3.6 point bump on DraftKings.

We saw Chubb explode against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, rushing for 176 yards on 20 carries while tacking on 3 receptions for 33 yards and a receiving touchdown. Against the Bengals, the Browns will likely give Chubb another 20-plus touches and all the red zone work. He has a good chance of paying off his $6,300 price tag with a stud-like workload.
