Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Nico Collins

Monday, September 15, 5:25 PM

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said in a radio appearance that he wants to get veteran running back Nick Chubb more touches. With Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) on the Non-Football Injury list to begin the season, Chubb handled 13 carries for a team-high 60 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. The 29-year-old four-time Pro Bowler may never be as dominant as he was in his days with the Cleveland Browns before he suffered a gruesome knee injury in 2023, but his role as the unquestioned RB1 for now in Houston makes him worth rostering in all fantasy leagues. Chubb had 10 more carries than the next RB in Week 1 and could have a similar dominant touch share on Monday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's rostered in 72% of Yahoo leagues, so if he's still available in your league, pick him up immediately.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was limited to just three catches for 25 yards in his team's Week 1 loss to the Rams, but he will look to bounce back this week at home against the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Collins only had five targets in Week 1, but he did still tie for the team lead. He played 53 of 63, by far the most among Texans' receivers, but the team's offense could never get much going against Los Angeles. They'll look to turn things around in Week 2, and Collins is the No. 7 WR in the RotoBaller rankings coming into his matchup against Tampa Bay, who allowed Drake London eight catches in Week 1. For the Texans' offense to turn things around, they'll need to get their superstar more involved on Monday, and if he gets a high target volume, he could put together a monster game.
