Nick Chubb has been the league’s unquestioned most dominant rusher since he entered the NFL in 2018, but his lack of involvement in the passing game has prevented him from finishing any higher than RB7 in half-PPR formats during that time. Chubb’s rushing efficiency was at an all-time high in Kevin Stefanski’s offense in 2020, as Chubb averaged an absurd 5.6 yards per attempt and finished as Fantasy’s RB9 with just 12 games played.
Chubb is a clear top-10 pick at the RB position for Dynasty startup draft purposes, but should he be ranked that high in season-long leagues with such a capped target projection while continuing to share a backfield with Kareem Hunt?
SportsLine Fantasy Football analyst Jacob Gibbs provides a data-driven deep dive to answer that question and address anything that stood out from his advanced statistical profile. These player profiles are just a small part of the advanced analytical prep Gibbs is providing for SportsLine users heading into the 2021 Fantasy football season — if you want an easy way to keep up with all of the information that will be published this spring and summer, this Advanced Fantasy Football Stat Guide will be updated with links to each article as they go live.
