Browns | Kareem Hunt’s return dinged Nick Chubb

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb averaged 100.4 yards rushing, 0.75 touchdowns and 3.1 catches in eight games while Kareem Hunt served his eight-game suspension to begin last season. After Hunt was activated, Chubb averaged 86.4 yards rushing, 0.25 TDs and 1.4 catches.

Footballguys View: Hunt will be there from Week 1 this season, so Fantasy GMs need to make an adjustment to the expectations for Chubb. He’s still a RB1, but Hunt can perform well enough to be a low-end RB2 in PPR leagues.

Steelers | James Conner much easier to corral in 2019

Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner broke a tackle once only every 23.2 rush attempts last season. In 2018, he broke a tackle once every 10.8 carries.

Footballguys View: We’ll see if Conner can play more like he did in 2018 coming up this season. The Steelers offense as a whole should be better and more wide open with the return of a healthy QB Ben Roethlisberger.

Ravens | Gus Edwards held his own last season

Baltimore Ravens RB Gus Edwards averaged 2.5 yards per carry before contact and 2.8 yards per carry after contact in 2019, slightly outperforming starter and backfield teammate Mark Ingram (2.4 and 2.6, respectively) in each category.

Footballguys View: The Ravens have a helluva 1-2 punch with Ingram and Edwards. We should see a similar RBBC in 2020, and plenty of power for opposing defenses lined up to stop them.

Dolphins | DeVante Parker got down the field in 2019

Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker finished third in the league with 939 yards before the catch last season, while his 13 yards before catch per reception was good for sixth among qualified players.

Footballguys View: Parker has flourished for the Dolphins and showed that their faith in him finally paid off. We’ll see how long QB Ryan Fitzpatrick keeps tossing the rock for the Dolphins. They’ll be in line for a top-tier rookie quarterback like Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft.
