Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Myles Gaskin

Friday, November 7, 9:49 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb could help carry the load for the team against the Jaguars in Week 10, since C.J. Stroud (concussion) will be sidelined. Chubb has seen fewer snaps the last few weeks, but he still is getting double-digit carries on a regular basis. He had 11 carries for 34 yards against the Broncos last week after 17 carries for 56 yards against the 49ers in Week 8. Chubb hasn't been very dynamic this season and hasn't ripped off many big plays. He does have a pair of touchdowns on the year and can bring touchdown-dependent upside in what should be a run-heavy game script with Davis Mills at QB. If the Texans can get out front and rely on their defense, Chubb could have a heavier workload than usual. He's ranked as the No. 35 RB, making him a stretch for a flex play in standard leagues but a fringe option for deep leagues. He will need to find the end zone to deliver on his fantasy potential, though.

The Baltimore Ravens are signing free-agent running back Myles Gaskin on Saturday. Gaskin worked out with the team this weekend and apparently impressed enough to earn himself a deal with the organization. The 28-year-old figures to be a depth option during training camp. He'll compete with Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali for a backup spot behind Derrick Henry. Gaskin has bounced around the league quite a bit over the last few years. He hasn't played much since the 2021 season with the Miami Dolphins. Possibly, Gaskin will catch on as a depth option, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy value.
