The Houston Texans have a banged-up running back in Nick Chubb going into their Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Chubb suffered a ribs injury in Week 14 that forced his early exit from the contest. He was unable to participate in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but did turn in a limited session on Friday before garnering the questionable designation.

Woody Marks owners in fantasy football are closely monitoring Chubb’s status for Sunday, as the veteran’s absence could lead to even more work for the rookie.

Here’s what we know about Chubb’s chances of playing in Week 15 against Arizona.

Is Nick Chubb playing today?

UPDATE: Chubb is officially INACTIVE for Week 15.

No, Chubb is not expected to play in Week 15, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“Texans RB Nick Chubb, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a rib injury, is not expected to play vs. the Cardinals, per source,” Schefter said.

Woody Marks start or sit advice

Marks slowly took on more and more work as the season progressed and now it has gotten to the point where he is the clear lead back in Houston.

Marks tallied a whopping 26 carries and 28 touches overall last week in the wake of Chubb’s early exit and he has now seen 16 touches or more in each of the last five contests.

Looking to Week 15, Marks draws a matchup against a Cardinals defense ceding the seventh-most fantasy points per game to running backs.

This is an easy decision: Marks is a starter on Sunday.

Verdict: Start
