The Houston Texans will host the Buffalo Bills in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Nick Chubb.
Is Chubb Playing in Week 12?
Chubb is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Texans’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Chubb in Week 12?
Yep, time to move one.
We assumed it to be true this time last week, and with two data points now in hand, we can say with a level of certainty that this is Woody Marks’ backfield.
Nick Chubb has nine touches in total over the past two weeks, and this is how he’s best used. Long gone are the days when he gets stronger with time, so if he can be used as a hammer in select spots, I think he’s being used optimally.
That role might end up meaning an important carry for the Texans in this favorable matchup, but it’s not nearly enough to matter for our purposes.
I’m fine with cutting Chubb altogether. Sure, he’s the RB2 and is only an injury away from an increased role, but this is a shaky offensive line, and we just haven’t seen consistent explosion from the veteran back.
