Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Kyren Williams

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot), who suffered a season-ending broken foot in the Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, is headed for free agency in March, and The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that it's hard to say what Chubb's future in Cleveland might be. Jerome Ford will be the team's clear lead runner over the final three games of the season, with Pierre Strong Jr. and D'Onta Foreman also being evaluated in bigger roles. Strong is a candidate to return in 2025, but Foreman is not. Chubb is a popular player in the locker room and among fans, but the Browns must determine how much they think he has left after ending each of the last two seasons on Injured Reserve due to injuries. The 28-year-old four-time Pro Bowler may never be the same after suffering a gruesome knee injury early in 2023. In just eight games in 2024, Chubb didn't look the same and averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per tote.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams racked up 122 rushing yards and a touchdown on his 23 carries on Sunday and added one catch for seven receiving yards in the road win over the New York Jets in Week 16. He was the focal point of the Rams' offense in the cold in New York and carried the load in the 19-9 road victory. He didn't break any big plays, and his longest run of the day was just 13 yards. However, he continues to post big totals almost every week. He is up to 1,243 rushing yards on the year and 15 total touchdowns in his 15 games this season. Next week, he'll have a good matchup against the Cardinals at home on Saturday night.
