Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Parker Washington

Saturday, December 6, 7:33 AM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has settled in as a change-of-pace option in the Texans' backfield, playing behind rookie Woody Marks, but he still does get enough work to be on the radar in very deep formats. He had his third touchdown of the season in last week's win over the Colts, finishing with nine carries for 34 rushing yards to go with his score. He is no longer the big-play threat or the workhorse that he was earlier in his career, but he is still getting about a third of the snaps in Houston's backfield timeshare. Chubb is the No. 45 RB in RotoBaller's rankings this week as the Texans face the tough Chiefs' run defense on Sunday Night Football. In most standard-sized leagues, there are better options available, but in very deep leagues, he can be a touchdown-reliant flex play.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) will be inactive for Sunday's game with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the news. The 23-year-old was forced from Week 13's 25-3 win over the Titans with a hip injury, causing him to miss Wednesday's practice and log only limited sessions over the ensuing two days. Despite being deemed questionable, it appears Jacksonville will be without its top statistical pass-catcher. While Washington is shelved, teammates Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers figure to lead the team's WR corps, with the former likely to be near a full snap share as he's further removed from an ankle injury. Austin Trammell and Tim Patrick will mix in behind them.
