The Houston Texans will visit the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17. 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 17?
Chubb (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Raiders after practicing fully on Thursday and Friday.
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 17?
Woody Marks (ankle) was out last week, leaving the door open for Nick Chubb, deemed healthy from the rib injury, to get meaningful work.
It didn’t happen, and that should tell you all you need to know about how this team views what the veteran has left in the tank.
He carried six times for 33 yards (30 coming on one play) against the Raiders, but it was Jawhar Jordan, a 2024 sixth-rounder, who led the backfield in snaps, routes, targets, and touches. There wasn’t a red zone running back touch to be had last week, and that eliminated any hope of an RB from this backfield backing into a valuable stat line.
Marks was questionable for most of last week, but regardless if he’s back or not, Chubb isn’t on my radar as a viable option in Week 17.
