2025 Fantasy Outlook
Chubb made a somewhat successful return from ACL, MCL and meniscus tear in September of 2023, playing eight games and 225 snaps beginning in Week 7. Chubb was nowhere near his usual self, however, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry. Chubb's comeback ended in Week 15 due to a broken foot, the recovery from which will be an ongoing concern in a long list of durability worries for Chubb. The season-ending 2023 injury was preceded in 2015 by an MCL, PCL and LCL tear in the same left knee, so Chubb's otherwise freakish athleticism and work ethic has already been tested more than the vast majority of running backs could withstand. Now 29 and turning 30 in late December, Chubb might or might not get another chance to spearhead an NFL running game as a power-oriented rushing specialist. Chubb was a free agent as of early May, and no specifics had surfaced regarding the recovery from his broken foot injury. Read Past Outlooks

Door closed on Browns reunion?
Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry said Friday that the possibility of re-signing Chubb (foot) is "increasingly unlikely" after the team added two running backs in the 2025 NFL Draft, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Berry said he's "never going to rule out [Chubb]" and that he "would expect him to take another step being a year removed from the knee injury," but he made clear that "a return is less likely, at least in the short term, with us right now." In his statement, Berry specifically noted rookies Quinshon Judkins (a second-round pick) and Dylan Sampson (fourth round), as well as incumbent veteran Jerome Ford, as reasons a reunion with Chubb is currently off the table. Just as notably, Berry said that Chubb is fully recovered from the broken foot that forced him to miss the final three games of 2024. The 29-year-old running back struggled in his return from a left ACL tear last season, averaging a career-low 3.3 yards per carry across eight appearances before landing on IR in Week 15 due to his foot fracture. He'll work to regain some of his prior explosiveness and find a new opportunity to compete this offseason.

Chubb's season-ending knee injury was one of the most upsetting moments of last season, somehow looking even worse than the ACL, MCL and meniscus tears he eventually was diagnosed with. Frankly, it would be a career-ending injury for many lesser backs in their late 20s. Chubb might not be human, however, with incredible athleticism potentially allowing for a faster-than-usual recovery and/or continued productivity even if he loses a step. Chubb tore three ligaments (MCL, PCL, LCL) in the same left knee in 2015 at Georgia, and he came back the next year with 1,130 rushing yards. The injury ended up being little more than a speed bump long term, as evidenced by Chubb's excellent NFL career. With all that said, Chubb is now 28 years old and faces a battle to meet his normal standards in the first year back from injury. Despite his Wolverine-like recovery from the first major knee injury, Chubb dropped to 5.0 YPC for the Bulldogs in 2016 -- a sharp contrast to the 6.8 YPC he averaged across his three other seasons. He accepted a pay cut from Cleveland this offseason, after the team added D'Onta Foreman to a backfield that still has Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong. Reading between the lines, the Browns believe Chubb can complete his recovery and return to a lead role... but they aren't necessarily counting on it. Fantasy managers should probably take the same approach, rather than depending on Chubb to be the lineup fixture he was for the past half-decade.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Time over in Cleveland
The Browns have signaled that they are moving on from Chubb this offseason, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The team hasn't made an official announcement about Chubb's status and shouldn't be expected to. However, they added both Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins and Tennessee's Dylan Sampson in the 2025 NFL Draft and also restructured Jerome Ford's contract to keep him on the roster. That leaves no room for Chubb on the depth chart, ending his seven-year run with the Browns. Chubb has been loosely linked to the Bears in free agency, though he may wait to sign until he's completed his recovery from foot surgery.
