Nick Chubb fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Should you start or sit Nick Chubb for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb's ceiling got a significant boost after last week. Quarterback Deshaun Watson, one of the worst in the NFL, went down with a season-ending Achilles' tear. Backup Jameis Winston is now set to take his place and hopefully turn the offense into something out of a Western film.

Winston is a gunslinger of the highest order and should turn what was an anemic and unproductive offensive attack into a much wilder unit. Defenses will be forced to play the downfield pass, opening up more running lanes and space for Chubb as the linebackers and safeties slide backward to compensate.
The overall lack of receiving weapons is concerning for the Browns, but it's also helpful that No. 24 won't have to worry about backup Jerome Ford (hamstring) taking away volume -- Ford missed practice Thursday and seems unlikely to play. The former Georgia Bulldog also had a touchdown. The goal line carries are likely his now.
Nick Chubb had nowhere to go because of blocking in his return, but this was a nice TD run and there were some athletic jump cuts with defenders in his face throughout the game. Browns OL is just a problem rn. pic.twitter.com/qwSD3cJGej

He'll have to contend with a poor Cleveland offensive line and may be touchdown-dependent, but he has enough upside to be worth the risk. He should be started as an RB3/FLEX in Week 8, even against the tough Baltimore Ravens defense.
