The Houston Texans will visit the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. 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 Nick Chubb Playing in Week 13?
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 13?
Who doesn’t love Nick Chubb?
We all do. He’s an easy player to root for, but we can safely do it from a distance with no fantasy investment.
The veteran running back doesn’t have a carry gaining more than nine yards in five of his past six games and the six carries he got on Thursday night felt forced.
Woody Marks is the future of this backfield and the future is now. I assume that Chubb will continue to be responsible for a handful of carries moving forward (his betting line entering last week was 22.5 rushing yards) and they might even be important touches for Houston, but they aren’t nearly enough for our purposes.
Chubb hasn’t been worthy of a roster spot for a month: move on and get some level of upside to round out your roster instead.
