Should You Start or Sit Nick Chubb in Week 4?
C.J. Stroud can’t find space behind this offensive line, and he’s running away from it, so how do you think Nick Chubb feels when he’s given a carry and told to run at the problem?
To be honest, he’s done well to average 4.1 yards per carry this season, and with five catches over the past two weeks, there’s a path to flex appeal in this good matchup (Titans: the worst post-contact rush defense in the league this season).
But the ceiling is low. The veteran has touched the ball 12-14 times in every game this season, and the Texans seem to be in no rush to extend him further. The lack of volume has kept Chubb outside of the top 35 at the position in the two weeks he failed to score, and that’s likely to continue to be the story.
You’re betting on a touchdown if you’re flexing Chubb, and there are worse weeks to do that than when facing the struggling Titans.
