Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Devin Singletary

Saturday, December 20, 8:25 AM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is questionable for this week's home game against Las Vegas, but he was able to get in full practices on Thursday and Friday, so he's trending towards being able to return. He could end up as the primary running back, depending on the status of Woody Marks (ankle), who is also questionable. Chubb has 472 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the year, and he has been a solid grinder even though his big-play upside seems to be mostly behind him at this point in his career. Chubb is the No. 46 RB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him too high-risk to play in most formats. If Marks is ruled out, Chubb would have touchdown-dependent flex potential, but Jawhar Jordan, last week's hero, could also be in the mix to still limit Chubb's upside. Facing the Raiders is a favorable spot, though, so whoever gets the carries for Houston should be a good fantasy play.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary took a backseat to Tyrone Tracy Jr. in Week 15's loss to the Washington Commanders. Singletary recorded only six touches for 14 yards from scrimmage, his fewest touches in a game since Week 8 and his fewest yards since Week 7. The veteran has taken on a larger role in the backfield and has been fantasy viable since Cam Skattebo (ankled) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 8. Since Week 9, the 28-year-old is averaging 10.2 PPR points per game, ranking as the RB30 over that time. Singletary profiles as a low-end flex play for Week 16's matchup against a Minnesota Vikings defense that ranks middle of the pack in PPR points per game allowed to running backs.
