I’d bench Chubb with Cohen being the second option. Chubb lowest projection and lower ceiling of the four IMO. Tampa is a top five run defense and god awful against the pass. I’d expect tons of passing from Cleveland and Chubb is an atrocious blocker and won’t give you anything in the receiving department, so expect to see plenty of Duke this week. Indy is pretty stout against the run as well, but I’d look for McCoy to see tons of the ball.
Ebron is almost unbenchable with Doyle out. Buffalo 11th defending the TE, but I’m not sure that matters much. Cohen the wildcard, good chance they are trailing and he’ll be involved in the passing game playing catch up. I suppose if you expect the Pats-Bears to be tight/defensive and like the Browns to hold a lead and win, I’d switch Cohen out for Chubb.

Thanks for your input.
I'm not really considering benching Chubb. I'm all in on him. Have stashed him since draft day for this opportunity (although I assumed it would come on a hyde injury). I think hes my RB1 rest of way and a top 10 fantasy running back. Hes that special. Big play ability ( which hes already flashed) and a lock for goal line work in a run first offense. Browns really dont like to use Duke much and Buccaneers defense is bad overall. Not buying their rush D stats.
Cohen just too valuable in ppr to bench especially in a plus matchup.
What sucks about Mccoy is that he loses short yardage and goal line work to Ivory. Also his improved play the past 2 weeks was with Allen under center. And hes been underutilized in the pass game. It's clearly his best matchup of the season though.
I've started ebron in the flex 3 straight weeks and he has delivered. Hes one of the main reasons I've climbed from 11th to 2nd in my league. But hes done most of his damage without TY who is now back. And its not a great matchup although not horrible. Buffalo is better on the outside. There's a small fear that colts crush the Bill's and it's a bad gamescript for Ebron.
Still not sure what I'll do but leaning towards benching Mccoy. And pumped to have Chubb rest of way.
