Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Dylan Sampson

Friday, November 7, 9:49 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb could help carry the load for the team against the Jaguars in Week 10, since C.J. Stroud (concussion) will be sidelined. Chubb has seen fewer snaps the last few weeks, but he still is getting double-digit carries on a regular basis. He had 11 carries for 34 yards against the Broncos last week after 17 carries for 56 yards against the 49ers in Week 8. Chubb hasn't been very dynamic this season and hasn't ripped off many big plays. He does have a pair of touchdowns on the year and can bring touchdown-dependent upside in what should be a run-heavy game script with Davis Mills at QB. If the Texans can get out front and rely on their defense, Chubb could have a heavier workload than usual. He's ranked as the No. 35 RB, making him a stretch for a flex play in standard leagues but a fringe option for deep leagues. He will need to find the end zone to deliver on his fantasy potential, though.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson lost four yards on his two carries while catching his lone target for a three-yard gain in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Sampson worked well behind starter Quinshon Judkins, who handled 22 carries while catching two passes in the close loss. This comes just two weeks after Sampson showed a flash of fantasy relevance by catching five passes for 29 yards. Sampson remains a solid stash in deeper dynasty leagues but he doesn't hold much value in redraft formats as he would likely have to split work with Jerome Ford if Judkins were forced to miss time at any point this season. Sampson will take on the Baltimore Ravens at home in Week 11.
