Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Emanuel Wilson

Wednesday, November 19, 5:39 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has played a reduced role in the last few weeks, and it's hard to trust him this Thursday night, even in a favorable matchup against the Bills. Chubb played only 18 snaps (26%) in Week 11 against the Titans and had just three carries for 17 yards. It was his lowest number of carries in any game this season, and his third time in the last five weeks with five carries or fewer. The Bills allow the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs in the NFL, but it will likely be Woody Marks that gets most of the work in Week 12. Chubb has dropped to RB42 in RotoBaller's rankings and is not much more than an injury handcuff for Marks at this point in the season.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson is expected to start Sunday's Week 12 game against the Minnesota Vikings after Josh Jacobs (knee) was ruled out for the contest. Jacobs was a game-time decision coming into this weekend, and the Packers ultimately decided to hold him out. Wilson will remain the Packers' primary running back, which is the role he occupied after Jacobs departed last Sunday's game early in the second quarter. The 26-year-old finished that game with 11 carries, 40 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown, plus a nine-yard reception. The trip to the end zone salvaged his fantasy performance, and he'll look to contribute even more this Sunday with greater volume, more passing-down work, and perhaps more goal-line opportunities. He ranks as a fringe top-24 fantasy running back against a Vikings defense that has allowed the 10th-most rushing yards to running backs in 2025, but the 11th-fewest fantasy points to the position.
