Chubb had four carries for 14 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 28-16 playoff loss to New England.
EDGE Analysis
Chubb finished up his first season in Houston with 122 carries for 506 yards rushing and three touchdowns. He added 13 catches on 20 targets for 67 yards. Chubb was meant to back up Joe Mixon (foot) but opened atop the depth chart, as Mixon's injury prevented him from playing at all in 2025. The Texans eventually gave Woody Marks the lead role while Chubb served as the backup and averaged just 4.4 carries over the final seven weeks of the regular season. The 31-year-old Chubb enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and Houston is expected to reassess the backfield.

Chubb rushed 10 times for 48 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Monday's 30-6 wild-card win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Chubb took a back seat to rookie starter Woody Marks (19-112-1) as he had been doing in the second half of the regular season. It was the veteran backup's first game with double-digit carries since Week 9 of the regular season. Six of his 10 carries against Pittsburgh came in garbage time late in the fourth quarter, so DFS players should not expect this kind of workload from Chubb against the Patriots in the divisional round.

Chubb is set to serve as the Texans' RB2 behind Woody Marks for Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers after Jawhar Jordan (ankle) was ruled out.
EDGE Analysis
Chubb saw just one carry in two of his last three games in the regular season before being rested for Week 18 against the Colts. He opened the season as the Texans' top running back and logged double-digit carries in six of Houston's first eight games, but he has since been surpassed by the rookie Marks. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks will also be on hand to provide backfield depth behind Chubb and Marks.

Chubb wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report, while Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports that Jawhar Jordan (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Chubb was rested in the regular-season finale against the Colts, but his absence from the injury report confirms the notion that he was inactive Week 18 due to a coach's decision and will be available for Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers. Jordan sustained a high-ankle sprain in the Week 18 win over the Colts and looks unlikely to suit up Monday, paving the way for Chubb to reclaim the top backup role behind Woody Marks. Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks round out Houston's running back depth chart.

Chubb (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
With Chubb being rested Sunday, the Texans' Week 18 backfield will be led by Woody Marks, Jawhar Jordan and Dare Ogunbowale. Chubb's next game action is in line to occur in the Texans' playoff opener.

Chubb had one carry for one yard on five snaps in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17.
EDGE Analysis
Chubb was impacted by the presence of Woody Marks (44 snaps), who returned to the lineup following a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. A playing time split that favored Marks is not surprising, but that Chubb finished behind Jawhar Jordan (11 snaps) is a more recent development, one that started Week 16. Chubb has just eight carries and one reception for a combined 46 yards from scrimmage over the last three games.

Chubb (ribs) took six carries for 33 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Chubb returned from a one-game absence in time to help fill in for injured starter Woody Marks (ankle), though it was Jawhar Jordan -- signed from the practice squad earlier this week -- who led the Texans in backfield touches (20) and total production (70 yards) Sunday. Chubb has been a shell of his former self while attempting to fill the void left by Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) in Houston's backfield this season, producing a 121-505-3 rushing line across 15 active games. With Marks potentially returning in Week 17, Chubb's value is limited to deep formats for Saturday's tilt against the Chargers.

Chubb (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Despite practicing fully both Thursday and Friday, Chubb -- who was inactive in Week 15 -- was deemed questionable for the contest, as was fellow RB Woody Marks (ankle), who was limited Friday. With Marks having been made inactive versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to have an opportunity to lead Houston's backfield in the absence of any setbacks, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who was productive while handling added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload, and Dare Ogunbowale is another candidate to mix in.

Chubb (ribs) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders but could be in line to serve as the Texans' top ball carrier in Week 16 with Woody Marks (ankle) trending toward missing the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Before sitting out the Texans' Week 15 win over the Cardinals due to a ribs injury, Chubb had begun to cede more work on the ground to Marks over his most recent appearances. However, Marks exited the Week 15 game early due to an ankle injury of his own, then sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday as a limited participant. Like Chubb, Marks is listed as questionable, and though he had been pushing to play Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston relays that the Texans plan to have the rookie rest his ankle this week. Assuming Chubb -- who practiced fully Thursday and Friday -- is officially cleared upon the release of Houston's inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he could take on the brunt of the carries out of the backfield with Marks out of the picture. Meanwhile, Jawhar Jordan is also expected to have a role in the game plan after a 15-carry, 101-yard performance in Week 15, and Dare Ogunbowale could see more involvement on passing downs.

Chubb (ribs), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 16 clash against Las Vegas, is likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chubb missed Houston's win over Arizona last Sunday, but it appears his absence won't extend beyond that one game. His likely ability to play against the Raiders could carry significantly more weight if No. 1 RB Woody Marks (ankle) is unable to suit up. If Marks doesn't play, Chubb could potentially work as the Texans' lead back, though Jawhar Jordan may have earned that honor with his 15-carry, 101-yard performance in his NFL debut last Sunday. Even if Marks does manage to take the field, Chubb and Jordan could factor in more than usual given the former's ankle issue and a potential blowout against the 2-12 Raiders.
