Nick Chubb Fantasy Stats

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) was forced to leave last week's big win over the Chiefs early with a rib injury, but there's still a chance he's available for Week 15 against the Cardinals. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to get in a limited session on Friday. If he does play, he'll get a great matchup against the Cardinals' porous run defense that has given up 18 touchdowns to running backs this season. While Woody Marks is likely to get most of the work even if Chubb is healthy, he would bring touchdown-dependent upside. He only had one carry for three yards last week before his injury, but in Week 13, he found the end zone against the Colts for his third score of the season. He's a high-risk flex play even if he's active, even though he does have the potential to get some work, especially if the Texans play from ahead against Arizona

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Chubb missed back-to-back practices to begin the week before getting in a limited session on Friday. The 29-year-old back suffered a rib injury during last week's win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. If he misses Sunday's contest, rookie Woody Marks should have an even bigger workload as Houston's lead back. Marks rushed a season-high 26 times for 68 yards while scoring a touchdown through the air during last week's victory. The absence of Chubb would make Marks a more appealing upside RB2 option. If active, Chubb is best left on the bench in 12-team formats given his struggles for most of the year. Dare Ogunbowale, who scored a goal-line TD on his only touch in Week 14, will be in line for change-of-pace duties behind Marks if Chubb is inactive.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Chubb injured his ribs in the Sunday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs and has not been able to practice all week. The Texans have yet to release their final Week 15 injury report, but it's looking like Chubb will be ruled out. The 29-year-old veteran hasn't been very explosive in his first year in Houston and ceded lead-back duties to rookie Woody Marks long ago. When active, Chubb doesn't profile as much more than a touchdown-dependent, low-upside RB3/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues. He has 115 carries on the year for 472 yards and three touchdowns, and has added 58 receiving yards. If Chubb is officially ruled out, it will open up a bigger role for Dare Ogunbowale as the RB2 behind Marks against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is missing another day of practice on Thursday due to a rib injury, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Rookie RB Woody Marks (ankle) also missed practice on Wednesday, but he has returned to the field on Thursday. The 29-year-old Chubb is in real danger of missing the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals. He has already lost lead-back duties to Marks, with Chubb not seeing double-digit carries in a game since back on Nov. 2 against the Denver Broncos. With Chubb getting injured in the Sunday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Marks saw a season-high 26 carries for 68 yards while also catching two passes for eight yards and a touchdown. Marks should have an even bigger workload in a plus matchup this Sunday if Chubb is ruled out, with Dare Ogunbowale jumping into the RB2 role for Houston.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) is not participating in Wednesday's practice session, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Chubb could be in danger of missing the Week 15 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals after injuring his rib during the second quarter of the Texans' win over the Chiefs on Sunday night. The former Cleveland Browns running back has taken a back seat to rookie Woody Marks in recent weeks, playing just 21.4% of the snaps with 24 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown over the past five games. Marks could see an even bigger workload in Week 15 against the Cardinals if Chubb is ruled out, with Dare Ogunbowale likely to mix in more frequently as well. Fantasy managers shouldn't be planning on starting Chubb, anyway, even if he gains clearance to play in Week 15.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) could be in danger of missing the team's Week 15 contest against the Arizona Cardinals after he suffered a rib injury in Sunday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. "Woody Marks has done a nice job. He's handled himself very well, taking care of his body. It's hard being an RB in this league. We'll see where Chubb (rib) ends up this week and if he can get back out there for us," head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday. Chubb injured his rib in the second quarter and never returned. The rookie Marks has already taken over Houston's backfield, and he had a career-high 26 rushing attempts in the 20-10 win in KC, going for 68 yards while adding two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Marks should see another heavy RB1-type workload against Arizona on Sunday, regardless of whether Chubb is active. Chubb hasn't had double-digit carries in a game since Nov. 2.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) suffered a rib injury in the first half of the Sunday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest, according to KPRC 2 Sports' Aaron Wilson. Before getting hurt, Chubb had just one rushing attempt for three yards. The 29-year-old was not targeted in the passing game. Rookie Woody Marks, who had already taken over Houston's backfield in the absence of Joe Mixon (ankle, foot), hasn't been very efficient on the ground against the Chiefs, but he was able to haul in a short touchdown pass in the first quarter. Regardless of whether Chubb is able to return for a Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals, Marks should be Houston's RB1 the rest of the season. If Chubb can't make it back next week, Dare Ogunbowale would likely operate as the RB2 for the Texans behind Marks.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a rib injury. Chubb recorded one carry for three yards before exiting the game. Chubb entered Week 14 with 469 rushing yards and three touchdowns across 12 games played in 2025. However, he has not recorded double-digit carries in any game since Week 9 as Texans rookie back Woody Marks has taken over as the lead rusher in Houston. If Chubb is unable to return in Week 14, Marks will likely dominate backfield work for the remainder of the game against Kansas City.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has settled in as a change-of-pace option in the Texans' backfield, playing behind rookie Woody Marks, but he still does get enough work to be on the radar in very deep formats. He had his third touchdown of the season in last week's win over the Colts, finishing with nine carries for 34 rushing yards to go with his score. He is no longer the big-play threat or the workhorse that he was earlier in his career, but he is still getting about a third of the snaps in Houston's backfield timeshare. Chubb is the No. 45 RB in RotoBaller's rankings this week as the Texans face the tough Chiefs' run defense on Sunday Night Football. In most standard-sized leagues, there are better options available, but in very deep leagues, he can be a touchdown-reliant flex play.

After starting the season as the lead running back for the Houston Texans, Nick Chubb has now ceded the RB1 role to Texans rookie back Woody Marks (foot). Still, Chubb gets his share of touches each week for Houston and scored his third rushing touchdown of the season in the team's Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Perhaps most importantly for Chubb's production outlook, Marks briefly left the game against Indianapolis with a foot injury. While the 24-year-old was able to return and finish the contest, there's a chance the injury could linger and lead Houston to limit Marks' touches in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Chubb's upside is limited, but he's logged six games with double-digit rush attempts this season and could find the end zone against the Chiefs. In deeper fantasy leagues, Chubb could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into Week 14.
