Who Should I Start? Nick Chubb or Zamir White

Friday, November 28, 9:12 PM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb continues to play a reduced role in the team's backfield, which keeps him from being a good fantasy play in most formats this week. Chubb has only totaled 14 rushing attempts in his last three games for a total of 80 yards, along with two catches for only four receiving yards. He has played under 30% of his team's offensive snaps in each of his last three weeks as well, as the team leans more heavily on rookie Woody Marks. Chubb's fantasy value is extremely touchdown-dependent, which is not usually a good thing since he hasn't found the end zone since Week 5 against the Ravens. He's only the RB57 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White continues to be a non-factor with his team, and he remains off the fantasy radar in all leagues. The 26-year-old has been a healthy scratch for five games in a row, and he's likely headed for his sixth consecutive absence in Week 12 as the Raiders take on the Cleveland Browns. Ashton Jeanty has control of the top spot in Vegas' backfield, while Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube have edged out White for depth roles. In the four games he did play earlier this year, White averaged just 2.5 carries, 6.3 rushing yards, 0.8 catches, and 4.8 receiving yards. Even if one of the running backs ahead of White were to get injured, he'd likely still be a non-factor in all fantasy football leagues.
