Who Should I Start? Damien Williams or Nick Chubb

Friday, November 10, 9:18 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Damien Williams (foot) has been released by the organization with an injury settlement. This doesn't come as a surprise with James Conner (knee) expected to make his return this week. That means, Williams short lived time with the Cardinals is coming to an end. This season, Williams has totaled 43 yards on 11 carries and was held without a score. It's uncertain if the 31-year-old will get a chance elsewhere, but he's not expected to have fantasy value even he signs with another team.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb played his smallest share of snaps of the season in Week 7 in the Texans' loss, but he still has the potential to bounce back this week against San Francisco. Chubb played 25% of snaps and had five carries for 16 rushing yards, while also hauling in one of his three targets for a loss of five yards. Before the game, head coach DeMeco Ryans made a big deal of needing to establish the run against, but the game plan didn't turn out that way. Chubb still seems to have a hold on early-down work with Woody Marks and Dare Obunbowale taking over on passing downs. Before the bye week, Chubb had a pair of busy games against the Titans and Ravens when the Texans played from ahead. He could be more in the mix, depending on the game flow this week against San Francisco. He is the RB31 in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a high-risk option in a flex or RB3 spot this week, especially since his role in the passing game is limited. In his favor, though, the 49ers have allowed five running back touchdowns in their last three games.
