He's one of those guys I won't pay more than a 3rd round rookie pick for, but you may be right. His injury was severe however. I hate rostering guys the next year coming off a major injury.
I think he's making $7.75m if you don't count the $4M signing as part of this year pay. He can also pick up another $25K for every game he's active.
He's not going to be much help getting anyone there.
I would probably pay a bit more than that, I've already made tentative enquiries to the Chubb owner as to what pick would get it done having a slew of late 2nds in the event I don't like what is on the board
I have Chubb in 1 league and would not trade him for a late 2nd. If that's what people are willing to pay, it's more worth it to just keep him.
I want to say that I stand corrected and ZWK was giving us good info. I blame the Jackson guy who writes for The Athletic and reported that Chubb only took a $4M pay cut. He was wrong and by default me to.
I think Foreman was sneaky great signing and could give them that power RB option if Chubb is out. I think he's a sizeable upgrade from Jerome Ford/Kareem Hunt. Both the Bears and Panthers were better when he was getting 15+ carries.
This is the camp I am in. That said I haven’t written Chubb off completely. I am old enough to remember Adrian Peterson returned from a serious knee injury and put up league winning numbers.
I just went back to see the posts around this. And to think, you almost had Guice!
I am absolutely with you on this. I will be sportin' Chubb this season, as well!
I took them both. Only one really disappointed me. Guice could’ve been really good but couldn’t stay on the straight and narrow path to prove it. My rb room should’ve been set for 3-4 years at least with that draft
FWIW, I started doing Underdog yesterday. His going as the RB43 on there.
As of yesterday in the two FFPC contest that have enough data to really look at they are literally going right next to each other in both contests,b2b, kind of wild that is happening in both drafts. But point is nothing unusual about preferring Ford.
I share the same concerns as you with regard to his being able to return and play effectively this year. Felt like odds were I'd never draft him even if I ended up doing 100+ drafts, kind of assumed other people would be drawn to his name and not take the injury recovery as negatively as I do.
I thought before the draft that year that there were 3 RBs that would have been rb1 in a lot of classes: Saquon, Guice, and Chubb. Guice was 2 years younger and seemed to have a better y1 opportunity so it made sense taking him first.
I would be one of those (Kerryon at 1.06) but I was able to follow that up with getting Chubb at 2.01 so it didn't really hurt me.
I don't think people who took any of those RB's over Chubb have anything to hang their head down about with respect to their scouting acumen or being a doofus. The production, afraid that hurts, but all of those RB's looked good out of the gate. Kerryon and Sony had messed up knees, Guice had a bad knee and turned out to maybe a sexual predator. It's just a reminder of how things can go in ways we can't possibly know and why luck is a part of this game. A whole lot of stuff looks brilliant or stupid with beneift of hindsight.
those main concerns was a big reason that even though I liked him best, I figured he would drop to allow me to get him a bit later. In dynasty, I wasn't too worried about Hyde because I wasn't really drafting Chubb to step in right away. It was a longer term play. I thought Hyde was fine but wouldn't keep Chubb down for long....even if it meant his second year.
After 140 underdog drafts, exposure is 13% chubb and only 6% ford.
I distinctly recall Todd Gurley looking like the best RB prospect in years, Gurley getting hurt, Chubb coming in, and looking even better than Gurley did. He was my RB2 in that class, and only because I thought Barkley would be the PPR monster he was as a rookie, I always though Chubb was the better runner.
Chubb ain't human!
Very impressive, though obviously its more lateral movement than weight strength that will determine how he'll bounce back. Still, his old role is 100% on the table if he's good to go, and he's going well in the RB4 range alongside guys like Chase Brown and Zach Charbonnet, who have a fraction of his talent/upside.
What da hell .....
It's a Chubb imposter. Here's the real Chubb... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/O8vsrG7JwQU
Is he still alive?
