No, Nick Chubb isn't a guy you probably want to be starting in Week 5 considering he hasn't seem more than three carries in any game this year, but after busting touchdown runs of 63 and 41 yards on his way to 22.5 fantasy points, Chubb might be a guy you want to stash in deeper formats.

Carlos Hyde remains entrenched as the Cleveland Browns' lead back, blocking the way to Chubb's fantasy glory, but with Baker Mayfield already supplanting Tyrod Taylor in the early going, should we be all that surprised if the Browns continue their youth movement and give Chubb more work at some point? After all, they wouldn't have drafted him 35th overall this year if they didn't like his ability, which was on full display this weekend.

It's better to be a week early than a week late, so while the workload isn't there yet, it's possible this performance starts to swing the pendulum in Chubb's direction.
