Nick Chubb scores in Week 13 loss.

Chubb rushed nine times for 31 yards and a touchdown, also adding three receptions (on three targets) for 41 yards. The score came from two yards away at the start of the third quarter, but a 23-0 halftime deficit forced Cleveland to abandon the running game, as Chubb’s nine carries were a low since taking over as the starter. Still, the rookie was involved as a receiver once again, and he’s solidified himself as a matchup-proof RB1 for a so-so schedule in the fantasy playoffs (v CAR, @ DEN, v CIN, @ BAL).

Jonnu Smith caught two passes for 29 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jets.

Smith was targeted three times, but fellow tight end Anthony Firkser (3/42/1) was more productive on the same number of looks. Fantasy owners should probably look elsewhere for Week 14 against Jacksonville.

Baker Mayfield struggles as the Browns lose in Houston, 29-13.

Mayfield was 29/43 for 397 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions, which came on back-to-back-to-back drives in the second quarter and led to a 23-0 halftime deficit. Baker simply wasn’t seeing the field well in the loss, which was a disappointment considering the Browns had a chance to really climb into playoff contention. The No. 1 overall pick will look to bounce back a finish strong in the fantasy playoffs. Cleveland will host Carolina in Week 14.
