Sam Hubbard Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (calf) is expected to miss a few weeks because of the left calf injury he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to a source. The hope is that he can make it back for the postseason. Hubbard is a key pass-rusher for the Bengals, having started every game while picking up 6.5 sacks this year. The 27-year-old also has recorded 57 tackles (33 solo), 11 tackles for loss, 21 QB hits, three passes defensed and a forced fumble in 14 starts as the No. 14 defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats. With Hubbard potentially out for the final three regular season games, Cameron Sample will move into a substantial role on Cincy's defensive line.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (calf) didn't return to Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. The 27-year-old was observed after the game wearing a walking boot, although head coach Zac Taylor couldn't provide any additional information. Hopefully, IDP managers will get a positive update, especially considering Hubbard has a team-high 6.5 sacks this season. Trey Hendrickson (wrist), who sits behind Hubbard with six sacks, didn't play either. With Cincy hoping to gain ground on Buffalo and Kansas City in the AFC playoff picture, the Bengals could be without two critical components of its defensive line against the New England Patriots.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (calf) won't return to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The Bengals defense took another blow, as the team was already without Trey Hendrickson (wrist) entering the contest. Hubbard leads the Cincy with 6.5 sacks this season, so IDP managers are hoping for a positive update ahead of the Week 16 meeting versus the New England Patriots.
