Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Jaylen Wright

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said that the usage of running backs Nick Chubb and Woody Marks is game-plan dependent and also depends on the flow of the game, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Running backs coach Danny Barrett also has a lot of input on the usage between the two backs. After playing a season-high 56% of the offensive snaps in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans, Marks dropped down to 39% in the blowout win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. Marks' fantasy managers were probably hoping for a lot more against the Ravens' depleted defense, especially in a blowout. The rookie had seven carries for 24 yards, while Chubb finished with 11 carries for a team-high 61 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Chubb and Marks will continue to move forward in a timeshare and will be RB3/flex plays in fantasy, with Marks offering fantasy managers more upside and big-play ability.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Wright remains the odd man out of Miami's backfield rotation as he hasn't registered a rushing attempt so far this season. He remains off the fantasy radar pending an injury to one of Miami's other running backs. Going forward, De'Von Achane will remain Miami's No. 1 running back while Ollie Gordon II backs him up.
