The Houston Texans will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. 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 15?
UPDATE: Chubb is officially inactive and will not play in Week 15.
Chubb (ribs) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
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 15?
Nick Chubb suffered a rib injury last week in Kansas City, and that put all of the usage upon Woody Marks.
This isn’t worth waiting on. The veteran running back didn’t have a game with a dozen carries at any point in November, and he’s still riding a few big early-season runs to have his YPC average over 4.0 yards per carry.
The Texans are making their move, but Chubb isn’t an important piece to their success and isn’t close to roster-worthy, even if deemed healthy.
