Overall, consider Hampton to be a decent RB2 or low-level flex in Week 17. He will be productive, but will he be the best option of the three running backs? Let's continue.

Nick Chubb fantasy outlook for Week 17

Nick Chubb will get on the board in fantasy football, but don't expect a huge day for the Houston Texans running back. Chubb is expected to earn 41 yards with a 20% chance of a touchdown. He isn't guaranteed to do much through the air, but he does have an 80% chance of a catch for 5.5 yards.

Put simply, Chubb should be avoided in the contest in many scenarios. However, if you must play him, how many points can you count on, and how does it compare to the other two backs? Let's get to the bottom of it.

Omarion Hampton or Woody Marks or Nick Chubb: Final Verdict

Overall, Omarion Hampton gets the nod with 13.9 points expected against the Houston Texans. Hampton's 13.9 points supersedes Woody Marks' 11.4 points and Nick Chubb's seven points. Go with Hampton.
