Reminder: There were two big Browns rookies last year ...
Cleveland RB Nick Chubb had a day and his 88-yard TD run was a big, big highlight against the old Cleveland Browns for the new Cleveland Browns as they beat the Baltimore Ravens 40-25. Chubb had 20 carries for 165 yards and three TDs in the game and added three catches for 18 in the win. There's no doubt that QB Baker Mayfield was the top Browns rookie on cardboard last year -- and probably still is this year -- but this was Chubb's first 100-yard game of the year but was not a career-high. He had a 176-yard outing last year -- one of four 100-yard games -- but his three TDs this week was a career-high mark.
All that said, Chubb's Rookie Cards and autos from 2018 releases look like safe buys on the lower side -- especially if you can find some bargain prices -- as long as the team delivers on its potential and improves upon last year. His pricier stuff still won't be Mayfield-priced so there's definitely some upside there if the team delivers. Seriously, have you watched this run?

-- A.J. Brown, WR, Titans Three catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns. It's a simple stat line, but a big one as it was key to a 24-10 win over the Falcons on Sunday. This second-round pick out of Ole Miss hadn't scored before this game this season but did have a 100-yard day in the opener. He's already got more than 1,100 cards this year and more than 700 different autographs -- so there's plenty to choose from if you want to chase this rookie. The Titans have looked a bit better at times this year so all of them are probably overlooked, especially their past Heisman winners. This rookie may get more attention than them, but they could all be decent pick-ups.

-- Jordan Howard, RB, Eagles Remember me? This 2016 rookie is in a new place this season and gave the Eagles some firepower in a 34-27 win over the Packers on Sunday. He had 15 carries for 87 yards and two TDs and added three catches for 28 yards and a TD. His two-yard TD in the fourth turned out to be the game-winner. He was a 1,000-yard rusher in his first two seasons and was just short last year. He's got just 186 yards on 40 carries this season but has three TDs, which puts him on pace for a career-high mark. Success in Philly might spark a little more interest in his cardboard.

-- Leonard Fournette, RB, Jags Remember me, too? It seems that this guy has really been off the radar of many in the last couple years after a big arrival in 2017, but he reminded everyone that he's still around with 29 carries for 225 yards in a 26-24 win over the Broncos. He'll top last year's rushing total in his next game and is averaging 101 yards a game this season as his new QB gets most of the viral attention these days. He hasn't scored a touchdown this season and this was his first 100-yard game but he's worth watching and grabbing some good cards at bargain prices.
---
-- Christian McCaffrey, RB, Panthers This do-everything star for the Panthers had another big week with 27 carries for 93 yards and a TD as well as 10 catches for 86 yards in a 16-10 win over the Texans. He's averaging more than 100 rushing yards a a game so far this year and has four rushing TDs. He's been on this list a few times since his arrival on cardboard in 2017. He's easily on pace for a career year and worth a watch.
---
-- Jameis Winston, QB, Bucs It seems like it's been some time since this guy has been seen here but he completed 28 of 41 passes for 385 yards and four TDs as his team put up 55 points in a win over the Rams. Not sure I saw that coming but his stats have bee pretty strong the last two weeks. He's already on pace to top last year and also looks like he could set new career-highs if he keeps pace here. His RCs and first autos from way back in 2015 could be bargain material in some cases -- those are the ones I'd watch. He's a free agent after this season so a move to a better team and market might really ignite interest here, too.

-- Jared Goff, QB, Rams How can you throw for 517 yards and two TDs and lose? That's the NFL these days but it's QBs like this guy who command a lot of attention on cardboard. He's one of several key 2016 RCs who have big-money cards and a ton of readily available cheaper cardboard, too. A 500-yard game has only happened 23 times in NFL history and Goff's game checked in at a tie for eighth-best ever. (The record is 554, by the way, and it's stood since 1951.)
