Nick Chubb Could Return Against the Raiders

Saturday, December 20, 8:25 AM

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is questionable for this week's home game against Las Vegas, but he was able to get in full practices on Thursday and Friday, so he's trending towards being able to return. He could end up as the primary running back, depending on the status of Woody Marks (ankle), who is also questionable. Chubb has 472 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the year, and he has been a solid grinder even though his big-play upside seems to be mostly behind him at this point in his career. Chubb is the No. 46 RB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him too high-risk to play in most formats. If Marks is ruled out, Chubb would have touchdown-dependent flex potential, but Jawhar Jordan, last week's hero, could also be in the mix to still limit Chubb's upside. Facing the Raiders is a favorable spot, though, so whoever gets the carries for Houston should be a good fantasy play.
