Nick Chubb Remains a Flex Play in Week 4

Friday, September 26, 7:31 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb is set to make another start for the Texans in a favorable spot against the Titans this Sunday afternoon in Houston. Chubb has been the team's primary running back for the first three games of the season, and he should remain in a very involved role with Joe Mixon (foot, ankle) still without a clear timeframe for a return. Chubb had totaled 34 carries for 141 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and one touchdown and added five catches for 31 more yards. Chubb has played just over 50% of the team's snaps in each week, but his carries and rushing yards have trended down each week. He'll look to flip that script in this week's matchup against the Titans, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs in the NFL this season. Chubb is still just the RB26 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he's not a starter in standard-sized leagues unless he's your best play at a flex spot. He will be a touchdown-dependent option as he tries to help the Texans' offense get rolling after their 0-3 start.

Ollie Gordon II Breaks Through, But Is He Ready for More?

Tuesday, September 23, 4:20 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II had a big preseason and got good sleeper buzz as a result. However, once the regular season started, he played just 12 snaps in Week 1 and five snaps in Week 2. In those two contests, he had three carries for just 12 yards. Even with Jaylen Wright (knee) off the injury report, Gordon was much more active in Week 3. While he still only played 25% of snaps, he did get nine carries and totaled 38 yards and a touchdown. His score came on the first possession of the game, when he took over for starter De'Von Achane in the red zone. Gordon is much more suited for tough running between the tackles than Achane, while Achane is excellent in space. The two could develop into a nice specialized tandem going forward, and the Dolphins need them to carry the offense while Tua Tagovailoa continues to struggle. Gordon gets good matchups against the Jets and Panthers the next two weeks and is a solid name to consider off the waiver wire in deep leagues.
