Browns show belief in Nick Chubb with trade of Carlos Hyde

BEREA, Ohio -- Nick Chubb's time in Cleveland has arrived.

Six games into the season and after a near weekly occurrence of the team saying Chubb needed more carries and touches, he will get both following Carlos Hyde’s trade to Jacksonville.

Chubb’s playing time and carries both will increase, which has to be of interest to fantasy owners as well as Browns fans. So will Duke Johnson’s; the Browns' best playmaker from a year ago had been lost in a trio of backs that proved to be one too many.

Hyde’s trade means that Chubb likely will be the starting back and get the bulk of the carries.
