The Houston Texans (1-3) will visit the Baltimore Ravens (1-3) in Week 5. 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.

Chubb is not on the injury report and is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Nick Chubb in Week 5?
Nick Chubb has been held under nine PPR points in three of his past four and is trending away from the high-volume role that made him of any interest to use in the first place.
In Weeks 1-3, the veteran’s snap share was hovering around 50%, but it fell to 40% against the Titans, and that’s much more in line with what I’m expecting moving forward, given the juice shown by Woody Marks.
Of the 36 qualified RBs, Chubb ranks 30th in fantasy points per run. This offensive line ranks in the bottom tier of the NFL, and that removes almost all hope for a player like Chubb.
I have no problem in you holding onto Chubb for a few more weeks, but I certainly wouldn’t plan on having him near your starting lineup.
