Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Allen Lazard

Sunday, December 7, 10:39 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) suffered a rib injury in the first half of the Sunday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest, according to KPRC 2 Sports' Aaron Wilson. Before getting hurt, Chubb had just one rushing attempt for three yards. The 29-year-old was not targeted in the passing game. Rookie Woody Marks, who had already taken over Houston's backfield in the absence of Joe Mixon (ankle, foot), hasn't been very efficient on the ground against the Chiefs, but he was able to haul in a short touchdown pass in the first quarter. Regardless of whether Chubb is able to return for a Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals, Marks should be Houston's RB1 the rest of the season. If Chubb can't make it back next week, Dare Ogunbowale would likely operate as the RB2 for the Texans behind Marks.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (neck) is officially active for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Lazard was listed as questionable to play this week due to a neck injury, but he's good to go and will serve as receiver depth for a weak Jets passing attack led by veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Even though Garrett Wilson (knee) is on Injured Reserve, Lazard has been quickly passed on the WR depth chart by newcomers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. The 29-year-old pass-catcher has not caught more than two passes in any of his seven games played in 2025, and he has just 54 receiving yards and one touchdown on eight catches. Lazard should be ignored in most fantasy football leagues against Atlanta on Sunday.
