Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Blake Corum

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) could be in danger of missing the team's Week 15 contest against the Arizona Cardinals after he suffered a rib injury in Sunday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. "Woody Marks has done a nice job. He's handled himself very well, taking care of his body. It's hard being an RB in this league. We'll see where Chubb (rib) ends up this week and if he can get back out there for us," head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday. Chubb injured his rib in the second quarter and never returned. The rookie Marks has already taken over Houston's backfield, and he had a career-high 26 rushing attempts in the 20-10 win in KC, going for 68 yards while adding two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Marks should see another heavy RB1-type workload against Arizona on Sunday, regardless of whether Chubb is active. Chubb hasn't had double-digit carries in a game since Nov. 2.

Los Angeles Rams second-year running back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, dominated once again on Sunday, rushing for 128 yards on 12 carries (10.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in the Rams' 45-17 rout over the Arizona Cardinals. Corum has now scored three touchdowns in the past two weeks and has rushed for 209 yards on 19 carries over his past two weeks. Kyren Williams is still the starter in this explosive Rams offense, but Corum is making his case for a potential takeover and to become a league winner down the stretch. The Rams have publicly stated that they are interested in limiting Williams' workload as the team prepares for its playoff run. Regardless, Corum has seen his workload ramp up over the past five weeks, and he is one of, if not the top handcuff, in fantasy football going into the fantasy playoffs. Even without the handcuff, he is providing RB3/flex value based on his pure production and projected 8-10 carries and 30-35 percent snap share. He is a must-add off the waiver wire if he is currently out there in any of your leagues.
