The Browns' best chance at offensive success will be giving Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt 15 carries apiece every week, according to Ellis Williams of Cleveland.com.
Williams believes Chubb and Hunt could finish as the first running back duo to exceed 1,000 rushing yards apiece since DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart did so in 2009. He warned fans not to expect any offensive "trickery" from Cleveland in 2020. Everything new HC Kevin Stefanski has said this offseason indicates the Browns are psyched about establishing the run. But 240 carries for Hunt (whose ADP is in the fifth round) without a Chubb injury would require a significant rankings adjustment. Stefanski's 2019 Vikings offense ran the ball 55.46 percent of the time while tied or leading, so a Browns team with game script on its side could translate to a hefty running back workload.
Edwards is full-go at training camp after missing the pre-draft process. Coach Jon Gruden suggested he’s already passed Hunter Renfrow for a top-three role, and playing the X spot could put him ahead of Henry Ruggs or Tyrell Williams in two wide sets. The Raiders have made it clear they have plans for Edwards now that he’s healthy. The SEC all-timer is looking like a good bet to start Week 1.
