Fantasy Football Player Notes

Chubb shook off the mini slump and got back on the 100-yard rushing horse last week against Tampa Bay. Chubb should steamroll the Texans this week. Chubb is the RB5 in fantasy averaging 19.7 touches and 108.3 total yards. He's fifth in red-zone touches, 14th in weighted opportunities, and second in total touchdowns. Over the last two weeks, his snaps (55-59%), routes per game (16.5), and route run rate (37.9%) have all trickled up. In Weeks 1-10, he averaged 10.9 routes per game and a 30.1% route run rate. Chubb is first in evaded tackles, fifth in breakaway run rate, and 16th in yards created per touch. Since Week 7, Houston is 31st in rushing yards per game, 26th in EPA per rush, and 32nd in explosive run rate allowed. Chubb is a high-end RB1.

Hunt hasn't seen double-digit opportunities since Week 8. Over his last three games, he has averaged 6.6 touches and 31.4 total yards. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 7, with only two red zone opportunities since then. Looking at his week-to-week efficiency, it's easy to see why the scales have tipped in Chubb's favor. Hunt has surpassed 2.5 yards after contact only twice since Week 5. He's forced only five missed tackles over his last five games. Hunt is an RB3/4 who could easily get into the endzone this week and crush these expectations.
