Nick Chubb Can Still Be a Fringe Flex Play vs. the Seahawks

Saturday, October 18, 5:18 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb will be back on the field on Monday night against the Seahawks after his team's Week 6 bye week. Chubb went into the bye week with a strong performance, totaling 61 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Ravens on just 11 carries. He has seen his snap share start to slip a bit, though, dropping from around 50% the first three weeks of the season to just 34% in Week 5. He still had more carries than any other running back in that win, though, and he seems to be the go-to option on early downs and in run-focused situations. He'll remain in a timeshare with rookie Woody Marks and Dameon Pierce on Monday, but he still brings enough touchdown-dependent upside to be an RB3 or flex play since he is the No. 29 RB this week in RotoBaller's rankings.

Rachaad White Remains on RB2 Radar

Saturday, October 18, 8:32 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is expected to make his third straight start during the Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Bucs are going to be without Bucky Irving (foot) for at least one more game. White has stepped up and played well in the absence of Irving. He has rushed for over 100 yards with three touchdowns over the last two games. Given the Bucs shorthanded offense, White figures to once again have a significant role in the offense on Monday night. This team is already without Jalen McMillan (neck) and Chris Godwin (leg), but might also be missing Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) in Week 7. That being said, White could be asked to do more receiving work than normal. The 26-year-old figures to be heavily involved and should be a solid RB2 for this Week 7 contest.
