• Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: RBs to Start

  3D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  We'll see if Jonathon Brooks (knee) will make his NFL debut in Week 8 against the Saints, but even if he's active, I would still use Hubbard as a No. 2 running back in all leagues. The matchup is too good to ignore since the Saints are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Five running backs have scored at least 16.8 PPR points against New Orleans in the past four games, with seven total touchdowns over that span, and this could be Hubbard's last chance at a quality performance if Brooks is able to play soon.

• Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Held in check by Denver

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Hubbard carried the ball 15 times for 56 yards and caught both his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos. The fourth-year back couldn't get much going, with his longest gain going for only 15 yards. Hubbard still has put together a very impressive first half of the season given the circumstances around him in Carolina, amassing 701 yards from scrimmage in eight games with four total touchdowns and 5.0 yards per carry. With rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) potentially making his NFL debut Week 9 against the Saints, however, Hubbard's days as the clear starter in the Panthers backfield may be coming to an end.

• Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)

  10D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  It will be tough to trust Hubbard with Bryce Young starting for the injured Andy Dalton (thumb). In two starts with Young, Hubbard failed to score a touchdown or top 76 total yards, and his best game was 11.6 PPR points in Week 2 against the Chargers. By comparison, Hubbard scored at least 15.3 PPR points in four of five starts with Dalton. The Broncos are No. 12 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs and just held Alvin Kamara to 24 total yards and 8.4 PPR points. I would only use Hubbard as a flex option in Week 8 in the majority of leagues.

• Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Scores fourth touchdown

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Hubbard rushed the ball 17 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders. He was not targeted in the passing game. The Panthers' offense had a miserable day, as they possessed the ball for only 24:55 and totaled only 180 net yards. Given that context, Hubbard did what he could with his rushing attempts, highlighted by a long gain of nine yards and a four-yard touchdown run late in the blowout loss. Despite his success this season, Hubbard's outlook is murky moving forward given the state of the Panthers' offense and the impending return of Jonathon Brooks (knee).

• Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Gains 103 yards from scrimmage

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Hubbard rushed 18 times for 92 yards and caught five of six targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to Atlanta. Hubbard continued his fantasy ascension in 2024 with another strong performance while handling 18 of Carolina's 21 rushing attempts from RBs. While the fourth-year back failed to extend his scoring streak to three games, he managed to produce his third game of 100-plus combined yards from scrimmage over the Panthers' last four contests. Hubbard remains unchallenged as Carolina's lead back, making him a must-start asset heading into next Sunday's tilt against Washington.
