Carlos Hyde the favorite to start in Week 1 for Cleveland
Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde is the favorite to open the season as the starting running back, per Tony Grossi of ESPN Clevaland.
What It Means:
Hyde was signed in the offseason to a 3-year, $15M deal to be the starter but after drafting Nick Chubb in the second round of the NFL Draft, the picture became a little murky. As it stands now, Hyde looks like he will start the season as the early-down back with Duke Johnson handling third-downs and passing downs and Chubb spelling Hyde from time to time.
Our models project Hyde for 866.4 rushing yards, 218.0 receiving yards, and 6.2 total touchdowns in 2018.
