Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb played at least 50% of snaps in each of the first three weeks of the season, but he only played 42% of snaps in Week 4, as rookie running back Woody Marks seized the spotlight. Chubb still did have 13 carries and two catches, but only totaled 62 rushing and receiving yards. He may go from slightly more than half the work to slightly less than half the work this week as the Texans take on the Ravens, but he still has touchdown-dependent flex potential. He's the RB31 in RotoBaller's rankings, partly because the Ravens have been the most generous team in the NFL to running backs this season, so if he does get work, he could find space to operate.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will move up the depth chart to the third receiver for his team after Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season. Westbrook-Ikhine signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Miami this offseason, and now, he'll have a chance to contribute on a more regular basis. He played a season-high 47% of snaps in Week 4 when Hill was hurt and caught his one target for one yard. For the season, he only has four catches for 26 yards, but he should get many more opportunities going forward. Last year with the Titans, he showed a knack for finding the end zone with nine touchdowns on 32 catches for 497 yards. Miami's offense hasn't been extremely productive this year, but with more work comes the potential that NWI works his way to fantasy relevance. This week's matchup with the Panthers isn't a great one for receivers, though, leaving him as the WR69 in RotoBaller's rankings.
