Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Jaylen Wright

Monday, August 11, 4:18 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (head) is back at Monday's training camp practice in a red non-contact jersey, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Chubb went through the league's concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in practice last Tuesday, but he's apparently cleared the protocols and is back on the field this week. It's possible that the 29-year-old will be active for the team's second preseason game this Saturday against the Carolina Panthers, although the Texans could exercise caution when considering their backfield is already beat up. Starter Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list and could be in danger of missing Week 1. Chubb did not look like a four-time Pro Bowler in his final season with the Browns following a devastating 2023 knee injury. At best, he's a WR4/5 flier for those that roster Mixon.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright carried the ball nine times for 16 yards and a touchdown while not getting targeted in the passing game in a 24-24 tie with the Chicago Bears in preseason action on Sunday. Wright mixed in with the first team on the Dolphins' first drive as he rotated with De'Von Achane early in the game. He appears ticketed for the short-yardage and goal-line work for Miami as he saw three straight carries from inside the five-yard line on the team's first drive of the game and later punched in a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Wright is battling to be the team's RB2 behind Achane after a quiet rookie season in 2024, a role that would give him plenty of fantasy value as a handcuff later in drafts. He will get his next chance to make an impression on Saturday in the Dolphins' second preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
