  • Chuba Hubbard Scores Twice In Week 13

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 25 times for 104 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-18 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Hubbard turned in an excellent fantasy outing in this one as he found the end zone on a pair of one-yard runs in the game. The veteran wideout dominated Carolina's backfield touches in the loss as Miles Sanders only notched eight carries and one catch. Hubbard is setting up as a low-end RB2 in fantasy moving forward. He will look for more success in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.

  • Chuba Hubbard A Flex Option In Week 13

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is coming off a productive game in which he scored a touchdown and also caught five passes for 47 yards. He will look to stay hot in Week 13's road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay's defense has been much better against the run than the pass this season, which sets the Panthers up for a pass-first approach this weekend. Hubbard has been the lead back in Carolina for much of the season but the Panthers have kept Miles Sanders in the mix as part of a committee, which cuts into the former's workload. The Panthers also have one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league which limits Hubbard's upside, setting him up as a flex option in fantasy in Week 13.

  • Chuba Hubbard Finds The End Zone In Week 12

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards and a touchdown while adding five receptions for 47 yards in a 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Hubbard barely out-touched Miles Sanders, 19 to 15, but he was the one who managed to score Carolina's lone touchdown in the loss. Hubbard and Sanders appear to be locked into a timeshare moving forward, which, along with a weak Panthers offense, will cap both players' upside in fantasy. He will look to find the end zone again in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

  • Chuba Hubbard An RB3 Heading Into Week 12

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard finished with 57 rushing yards on 10 carries in a Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He also saw a much more even split with backup Miles Sanders in that game after dominating touches for a multi-week stretch. Hubbard appears to have failed to lock down the lead role in Carolina, opening the way for Sanders to get back into the mix heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee has been solid against the run in 2023 as they are allowing just the 18th-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far. Hubbard is on the map as an RB3/flex play in Week 12 but don't hesitate to leave him on the bench if you have better options.

  • Austin Corbett Headed To Injured Reserve

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers guard Austin Corbett (knee) is being placed on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury. The Panthers lost Brady Christensen (biceps) in Week 1 due to a biceps injury, so they are now without their two starting guards. Carolina has the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game this season (92.3), so this does not bode well for running backs Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard. To make matters worse, the Panthers are set to face All-Pro defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons of the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Expect running lanes to be scarce and quarterback Bryce Young to be under additional pressure.

  • Chuba Hubbard Runs For 57 Yards In Week 11 Loss

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 10 times for 57 yards and added two catches for eight yards in a 33-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. Hubbard wound up seeing one fewer carry than backup Miles Sanders as the Panthers spread out the backfield touches more than in recent weeks. That being said, Hubbard still remains the lead back in Carolina, although the offense hasn't gotten much going of late. Hubbard will face off against the Tennessee Titans on the road in Week 12.

  • Chuba Hubbard An RB3 In Week 11

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has wrestled the starting role away from Miles Sanders this season but it hasn't exactly translated to fantasy points for him as he's averaging just 8.0 fantasy points per game over his past three contests. Hubbard might struggle to get things going against a tough Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 11. The Cowboys are allowing just the 24th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2023, setting up a difficult matchup for Hubbard in Week 11. He is on the map as an RB3 this weekend but fantasy managers should temper their expectations as the Panthers offense could struggle to move the ball in this one.

  • Chuba Hubbard Rushes For 23 Yards In Week 10

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball nine times for 23 yards and added two receptions for 16 yards in a 16-13 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 10's Thursday night game. Hubbard didn't have a big game, although he did continue to play ahead of former starter Miles Sanders, who only saw two carries and two receptions in the loss. He got off to a decent enough start in the game with 15 rushing yards in the first quarter but Carolina went with a more pass-heavy approach after halftime as Hubbard only saw three carries for three yards in the second half of the game. Hubbard hasn't had a big game in a few weeks but he appears to have a tight grip on the No. 1 role in Carolina, which gives him fantasy value as a flex option moving forward. That being said, the entire Panthers offense could struggle to move the ball in Week 11's home matchup against a tough Dallas Cowboys defense.

  • Chuba Hubbard A High-End RB3 In Week 10

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is lined up to make the start against the Chicago Bears in Week 10's Thursday night game. Hubbard has overtaken Miles Sanders as the team's starter as he saw 20 touches to Sanders' nine in Week 9. The Bears represent a plus matchup for Hubbard as they are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2023. Hubbard will still split some touches with Sanders but he can be leaned on as a high-end RB3 in Week 10 as he should see the majority of the backfield for Carolina.

  • Chuba Hubbard Runs For 58 Yards In Week 9

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 16 times for 58 yards and caught four of his six targets for nine yards in a 27-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. As expected, Hubbard got the start and wound up getting all but seven of the carries that went to running backs in the loss. The veteran didn't have a big game but he continues to run ahead of Miles Sanders, who opened the year as the starter but has since been relegated to backup duties in Carolina. Hubbard will be a solid flex option in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears.

  • Chuba Hubbard Expected To Start In Week 9

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is expected to open his team's Week 9 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts as the team's starter. Hubbard has outperformed Miles Sanders all season and, as such, will be the team's lead back against the Colts. That being said, head coach Frank Reich told reporters that he will continue to split touches between the two players. The Colts are a great matchup for Hubbard as they are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to running backs in fantasy this season. Hubbard can be treated as a low-end RB2 heading into Week 9.

  • Chuba Hubbard Leads Panthers Backfield In Week 8

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 15 times for 28 yards and added two receptions for 26 yards in a 15-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 8. It was Hubbard, and not early-season starter Miles Sanders, who led the Carolina backfield in the team's first win of the season as the latter only received two carries. Even though Hubbard didn't post a big game in Week 8, he's become an interesting name in fantasy as Carolina's potential rest-of-season starting running back. Hubbard should be rostered in all leagues moving forward as the Panthers gear up to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9.

  • Chuba Hubbard A Flex Option In Week 8

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was impressive in Week 6 with Miles Sanders (shoulder) sidelined, rushing for 88 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Sanders has practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday this week leading up to a Week 8 matchup against the Houston Texans, which tentatively puts him on track to play this weekend. It remains to be seen how the Panthers split the running back touches moving forward but it bears mentioning that Hubbard has outplayed Sanders for the majority of the 2023 season. Hubbard is worth a look as a flex option in Week 8 against a Texans defense that is allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season.

  • Chuba Hubbard Rushes For 88 Yards, Touchdown In Week 6

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 19 times for 88 yards and a touchdown while adding a two-yard catch in a 42-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 6. Hubbard got the start and operated as Carolina's lead back with Miles Sanders (shoulder) ruled out ahead of the contest. With the way Hubbard played, Sanders' role as the team's lead back could be in jeopardy even when he is ready to return to action as Hubbard had been outperforming him even before Week 6. Hubbard will have to wait two weeks for an encore performance as the Panthers will have their bye in Week 7. After that, they will face off against the Houston Texans at home in Week 8.

  • Chuba Hubbard In Line For Lead-Back Duties Against Miami

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    The Carolina Panthers have ruled out running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) for the Week 6 game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, meaning backup Chuba Hubbard is now in line for lead-back duties. Things had been trending this way with Sanders having not practiced all week. The 24-year-old Hubbard only played two fewer offensive snaps than Sanders in the Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions and led the backfield with nine carries for 35 rushing yards. Hubbard really has a chance to take over Carolina's backfield in Week 6, although the matchup might not be the friendliest if the Dolphins get out to a big lead and force the Panthers to abandon the run. Still, Hubbard should be scooped up off the waiver wire immediately if he's available. He'll have volume-based RB2 upside in the absence of Sanders.

  • Chuba Hubbard Could See Larger Role In Week 6

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has been outproducing starter Miles Sanders (shoulder) on a regular basis throughout the 2023 season. The Panthers could be without Sanders in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins as he has missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices with a shoulder injury. If Sanders is unable to suit up in Week 6, Hubbard would move into a featured role as the team's starting running back. The Dolphins have been average against opposing running backs in 2023, allowing the 14th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Fantasy gamers can feel free to deploy Hubbard as a high-end RB3/flex option if Sanders ultimately ends up not playing on Sunday, although Friday's injury report will be worth monitoring closely to see whether Sanders is able to participate at all. Stay tuned.

  • Chuba Hubbard Could See A Larger Role In Week 4

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was quiet in Week 3, seeing just one carry and three targets in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Hubbard will look to bounce back in Week 4's home matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. While struggling against the pass, Minnesota's defense has been effective against the run through the first three weeks, allowing the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. That being said, Miles Sanders (groin) missed practice on Friday after getting in limited sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. A late-week downgrade is never great news, so Hubbard could be the Panthers' starter on Sunday if Sanders isn't ready to go. Treat Hubbard as a solid RB3 if Sanders is inactive in Week 4.

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball twice for 16 yards and added five catches for 34 yards in a 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. Hubbard continues to look more dangerous than Miles Sanders when he gets the ball and wound up finishing second on the team in catches and yards in the loss. While Hubbard will continue to split opportunities with Sanders, he is establishing himself as a decent flex option in most weeks. He will face the Seattle Seahawks on the road in Week 3.

  • Chuba Hubbard - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

    Headshot for Chuba Hubbard

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard saw a decent workload for a backup running back in Week 1, taking nine carries for 60 yards and adding another nine yards on two catches. He will look for another productive game in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. The Saints allowed fantasy backs to average the 20th-most fantasy points per game in the 2022 season and held Derrick Henry to 63 rushing yards. Hubbard is in play as a flex option in fantasy leagues heading into Week 2.

    Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball nine times for 60 yards and added two receptions for nine yards in a 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. Despite being the backup to Miles Sanders, Hubbard wound up seeing a solid workload in the season opener and managed to make the most of his chances, ripping off several long runs including a 21-yarder. Hubbard sets up as a quality handcuff in all leagues moving forward. He will face off against the New Orleans Saints at home in Week 2.
