Nick Chubb Going On Injured Reserve With MCL Injury
4 years agoCleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is being put on Injured Reserve on Monday with an MCL injury, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The good news is that Chubb's injury isn't season-ending, but doctors expect him to miss around six weeks. Keep him stashed everywhere, but it's obviously a tough blow for his fantasy managers. With Chubb sidelined, Kareem Hunt, who has been mixing in plenty alongside Chubb the first four weeks, will become a must-start in fantasy lineups. D'Ernest Johnson and Dontrell Hilliard will battle for backup work. The Colts -- Cleveland's Week 5 opponent -- have been a very tough matchup for running backs through four weeks, but Hunt's guaranteed usage will give him RB1 upside.
