5 Bold Cleveland Browns predictions after bye week
By Leon West
1. Nick Chubb wins MVP
On the day that Brock Osweiler retires from the NFL, it is essential to remember how important he will become in Cleveland if this bold prediction comes through.
Osweiler was traded to the Browns in March of 2017 and released in September of 2017 and never took a meaningful snap. The importance of Brock is the trade came with a 2018 second-round pick from Houston that turned into Nick Chubb.
Chubb has been on fire in 2019. He’s staking his claim as a top running back in the NFL. He’s 11 yards off the lead league in rushing yards, and he is fourth in the league in total scrimmage yards. He will continue to be the number one option in the backfield and will get 18-20 touches per game, although Hunt will be his backfield mate.
Chubb averages 5.2 yards per carry, and when the passing game improves, the lanes will open up that much more for the stout running back. Expect Chubb to play an enormous role in the offense as the weather worsens in the latter stages of the season.
