Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Massive workload in OT win
Chuba Hubbard rushed 28 times for 153 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of six targets for 16 yards in the Carolina Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Fresh off inking a four-year extension Thursday, Hubbard wasted no time earning his keep with career highs in rush attempts and rushing yards. Hubbard also recorded his sixth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run late in the third quarter, and he was able to work through an injury scare without missing any time after limping off the field following a lost fumble in Carolina territory just before the midway point of the fourth quarter. Hubbard now has three 100-yard games on the season and will have a Week 11 bye to rest up before a Week 12 home showdown with the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Reaches four-year extension
Chuba Hubbard agreed to a four-year, $33.2 million contract extension with the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Hubbard is able to earn an additional $4 million in incentives, and he'll receive $15 million fully guaranteed as part of the new deal, which keeps him in the fold through the 2028 season. A 2021 fourth-round pick, Hubbard produced 1,135 yards from scrimmage over 17 games last season, emerging as Carolina's top back after free-agent signee Miles Sanders struggled and eventually lost the starting gig. Carolina then invested a second-round pick into Jonathon Brooks (knee) in the 2024 NFL Draft, but with Brooks having not yet made his debut, Hubbard has maintained his spot atop the depth chart and has continued to thrive in his fourth season, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and recording 26 receptions through Carolina's first nine contests. Brooks could be available this Sunday against the Giants, and while the Panthers are still high on the rookie's long-term outlook, Hubbard's extension likely ensures that the fourth-year back will have a prominent role for the foreseeable future.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Two touchdowns in narrow win
Chuba Hubbard rushed 15 times for 72 yards and two touchdowns and brought in two of three targets for no gain in the Carolina Panthers' 23-22 win over the Saints on Sunday.Hubbard saw his second straight 15-carry tally and recorded his first multi-touchdown effort of the season via one- and 16-yard runs in the second half. The second score provided the game-tying points and saw Hubbard break multiple tackles on the way to the end zone, underscoring what he's brought to the table amid the Panthers' struggles. Hubbard is expected to face a challenge to his workload from Jonathon Brooks (knee) when the latter potentially makes a Week 10 debut, but Hubbard should remain atop Carolina's ground attack against the Giants in Germany.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Held in check by Denver
Chuba 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 Carolina Panthers backfield may be coming to an end.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Scores fourth touchdown
Chuba 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 Carolina 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
Chuba 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 Carolina 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.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Stands out in lopsided loss
Chuba Hubbard rushed 13 times for 97 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for minus-2 yards in the Carolina Panthers' 36-10 loss to the Bears on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.The Panthers had their first truly pedestrian performance with Andy Dalton under center, but Hubbard continued to prove himself the most consistent member of the team's offense with another highly efficient rushing performance. Hubbard fell just short of his third straight 100-yard performance, but he recorded a rushing TD for the second consecutive game on an exciting 38-yard run in the first quarter to open the scoring on the afternoon. Hubbard didn't have a productive day as a receiver from a yardage standpoint, but he now has at least four receptions in four consecutive games heading into a Week 6 home divisional battle versus the Falcons.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Another 100-yard performance Sunday
Chuba Hubbard rushed 18 times for 104 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals. He added four receptions on four targets for 17 yards.The fourth-year running back's fantasy relevance has skyrocketed since Andy Dalton took over for Bryce Young in Week 3. Hubbard has now accumulated 290 yards from scrimmage, including back-to-back 100-plus yard rushing performances, and scored two touchdowns over Carolina's last two contests. He managed to dominate Sunday despite the game script favoring the air attack, with the Carolina Panthers trailing by as many as 17 points in the second half. Hubbard is expected to continue producing with Dalton at the helm, but he could see some of his workload reduced when Jonathon Brooks (knee) returns from injury in the next couple weeks.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Racks up 169 total yards
Chuba Hubbard rushed the ball 21 times for 114 yards in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders. He added five receptions on five targets for 55 yards and a touchdown.Like most of the Carolina skill-position players, Hubbard benefited significantly from Andy Dalton taking over as the starting quarterback. He dominated touches during competitive portions of the game -- though Miles Sanders found the end zone in garbage time -- and tallied Carolina's first touchdown of the day on a five-yard catch. In addition to opportunity, Hubbard was also efficient. Only six of his 21 carries went for fewer than four yards, and he also had a long reception of 20 yards. With Jonathon Brooks (knee) out at least one more game, Hubbard should see plenty of volume once again in Week 4 against Cincinnati.

Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Lone bright spot in loss
Chuba Hubbard rushed 10 times for 64 yards and brought in four of five targets for 12 yards in the Carolina Panthers' 26-3 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.Hubbard's team-leading rushing yardage total was the only statistical performance of note for the hapless Panthers. The fourth-year back had been held to 14 yards on six carries Week 1, so Sunday's numbers represented a breakout performance of sorts. Hubbard figures to keep finding rushing yards hard to come by most weeks if Bryce Young continues to struggle, but he'll try to carry over the momentum of Sunday's impressive showing into a Week 3 road matchup against the Raiders.
