Nick Chubb No Longer a Fantasy Option

Monday, February 16, 12:04 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb is likely in the final stage of his career after an underwhelming season with the team. Chubb hasn't been the same since his ACL and MCL tears in Cleveland in 2023. After seven years in Cleveland, he joined the Texans for the 2025 season to operate as their No. 1 running back ahead of Woody Marks. The veteran was held in check early in the season, though, and Marks ended up taking over the backfield. Chubb finished the year with a modest 506 rushing yards and three touchdowns, ranking as the overall RB54 in PPR leagues. His 5.9 points per game represented a new career low, and it has become evident that he's not going to be a major fantasy threat going forward. He's slated to hit free agency this offseason and will presumably end up signing somewhere as a backup -- presumably somewhere with an established, younger lead back. It'll be tough to trade Chubb for anything at this point in dynasty leagues, but he's definitely not a "buy."

Kyren Williams Becoming a Better Dynasty Value by the Day

Monday, April 27, 6:00 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has finished as the RB9 or better in each of the past three years, and a league-winning season looked inevitable had he not missed significant time in his 2023 breakout campaign. For the first time since 2016, the Rams did not add to the running back room through the NFL Draft, and yet the 25-year-old Williams continues to slide in dynasty rankings, currently slotting in as RotoBaller's RB17. Concerns of Blake Corum's expanding role are justified after the team seemed to make a concerted effort to keep Williams fresh down the stretch, and with Corum's five rushing touchdowns trailing only Derrick Henry over the final six weeks of the season, he has rightfully earned more touches moving forward. That said, Williams' contract runs through 2028, and even 55-60% of the running back snaps and the bulk of the receiving work in what again projects to be one of the most high-powered offenses in the league could result in another RB1 finish, making him a smart buy at his current cost.
