Nick Chubb Week 3 Outlook - Texans at Bears

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 24th 2022, 9:37am EDT

Chubb is coming off a monster performance in Week 2 with 20 touches and 113 total yards. After two games, that's close to the weekly watermark for Chubb as he's averaged 21.5 touches and 128 total yards through two games. Chubb remains one of the best running backs in the NFL, ranking 11th in yards after contact per attempt, first in missed tackles forced, and fourth in PFF's elusive rating (minimum 15 carries). This is a tough matchup for Chubb, though, so temper expectations. The Steelers are 15th in rush EPA while allowing the fourth-lowest explosive run rate and third-lowest rushing success rate. Chubb's 17-20 touches weekly and touchdown equity keep him as a top 15 running option.
