Who Should I Start? Raheem Mostert or Nick Chubb

Saturday, November 29, 11:06 AM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert has served as the primary backup to rookie Ashton Jeanty this season, totaling 20 carries for 92 yards, along with nine receptions (nine targets) for 63 yards in eight games. The veteran hasn't recorded more than four touches in a game since Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans. Mostert would be in line to handle the bulk of the touches for the Raiders if Jeanty were to miss any time, but he remains off fantasy radars for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Chubb missed back-to-back practices to begin the week before getting in a limited session on Friday. The 29-year-old back suffered a rib injury during last week's win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. If he misses Sunday's contest, rookie Woody Marks should have an even bigger workload as Houston's lead back. Marks rushed a season-high 26 times for 68 yards while scoring a touchdown through the air during last week's victory. The absence of Chubb would make Marks a more appealing upside RB2 option. If active, Chubb is best left on the bench in 12-team formats given his struggles for most of the year. Dare Ogunbowale, who scored a goal-line TD on his only touch in Week 14, will be in line for change-of-pace duties behind Marks if Chubb is inactive.
