Chuba Hubbard Fantasy

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard handled four carries for just four yards and added three receptions for 25 yards on six targets in Friday night's preseason win against the Buffalo Bills. Hubbard started at running back for Carolina, but dropped two passes from quarterback Baker Mayfield early on and failed to get anything going on the ground. He could split backup duties with D'Onta Foreman, but he remains nothing more than a late-round handcuff in fantasy drafts in extremely deep leagues.

Carolina Panthers second-year running back Chuba Hubbard handled six carries for 22 yards and one reception for a four-yard-loss in Friday's preseason matchup against the New England Patriots. D'Onta Foreman started in the backfield this week, but the two rotated throughout Carolina's first four drives and were both mostly ineffective. Hubbard disappointed fantasy managers when Christian McCaffrey went down in 2021, which explains why Foreman is currently being drafted almost three rounds earlier. Both could be worthy of a late-round dart throw for the potential of being the primary backup to McCaffrey, who has appeared in only ten games in the past two seasons.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has improved at pass protection, according to head coach Matt Rhule. He led the team in carries last season with Christian McCaffrey only playing seven games. Sadly, Hubbard struggled on the ground with 3.6 yards per carry. He'll be competing with D'Onata Forearm for the backup gig in Carolina. Hubbard might have the edge, assuming he continues improving in pass protection. Although, it's unlikely he'll carry weekly fantasy value, assuming McCaffrey can actually stay healthy.
