Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Breece Hall

Friday, September 19, 8:53 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb continues to dominate the playing time and most of the workload in the backfield, and he'll be an RB3 or flex option this week as he visits Jacksonville for a divisional contest. Chubb had 12 carries for 43 yards and a 25-yard touchdown in the Texans' one-point loss on Monday, and he played 53% of the team's snaps. Before his touchdown, he had only 11 carries for 18 rushing yards, but that touchdown saved his fantasy day. He also caught both of his targets for 29 receiving yards. Chubb will continue to get plenty of work but will only be an RB3 in Week 3 against the Jaguars, who have been good against running backs in the early part of this season. Chubb is the No. 26 RB this week, making him a solid flex play in most formats, although he will remain very touchdown-reliant since the Texans' offensive line isn't opening up much space.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall draws an unfavorable matchup this weekend when he squares off with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. The Iowa State product - and the remainder of New York's offense, for that matter - have had mixed results through the season's first two weeks. Hall looked excellent in Week 1, compiling 145 scoreless yards across 21 touches. In Week 2, however, quarterback Justin Fields' (concussion) inefficiencies (3-for-11) held the team back. Fields won't be able to suit up this weekend, leaving veteran journeyman Tyrod Taylor to work in his stead. While Taylor has shown competence throughout his career, it will be difficult to trust him to support the Jets' skill players for fantasy. Furthermore, Tampa Bay has yielded the fifth-fewest rushing yards through two games. They can be had through the air, though, which is likely where the fourth-year back will do his damage. Hall is RotoBaller's PPR RB19 ahead of this weekend.
