Scouting report

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 @ Chicago Bears
In a revitalized offense in Weeks 3 and 4, Chuba Hubbard has been afforded 47 opportunities and turned them into a massive 45+ point fantasy output. We can't expect that every week for the new-look Panthers but he does find himself in another great spot against the Chicago Bears. Fire him up as an RB2 in Week 5.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
In a revitalized offense in Week 3, Chuba Hubbard was afforded 26 opportunities and turned them into a massive 25+ fantasy performance. We can't expect that every week for the new-look Panthers but he does find himself in a great spot against a Bengals defensive line that is missing multiple pieces this Sunday. Fire him up as an RB2 in Week 4.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 @ Las Vegas Raiders
Chuba Hubbard is a boring but probably needed addition to fantasy squads in the later rounds, particularly if you were employing a Zero RB build. While rookie Jonathon Brooks sidelined for much of the early portions of the season, Hubbard will provide a fringe RB2/3 option, and this Raiders matchup is no different.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
By season's end, Chuba Hubbard and shrugged off veteran counterpart Miles Sanders to emerge as the No. 1 back option. Coming out of the Week 7 bye, Hubbard would handle 61.1% of the team's backfield rushes until the end of the year, the 10th-highest mark in the league. Over that span, he was fantasy's RB27 in half-PPR points per game (10.7), cracking double-digit points in eight-of-eleven games. If rookie Jonathon Brooks has issues recovering from his torn ACL, Hubbard could offer RB2/3 production.

Fantasy Downside
Even with his increased role in the second half of 2023, his YPC (3.79) and YPRR (0.79) were still below league average on an offense that could never seem to gather its footing. The team looks to be in a better spot heading into this season, but a first-round (Xavier Legette) and free-agent WR (Diontae Johnson) should start to shrink Hubbard's uninspiring touches. If Brooks is good to go by Week 1, Hubbard could be nearly phased out.

2024 Bottom Line
Chuba Hubbard is a boring but possibly needed addition to fantasy squads in the later rounds, particularly if employing a Zero RB build. If you've loaded up on RB earlier in the draft, though, his upside is far too limited to stock up your portfolio on him. The Panthers traded up into the second round to add a spark to their offense, and it's very likely that they want to give Brooks an outsized share as early as humanly possible. Hubbard is a low-floor/low-ceiling addition in 2024.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Chuba Hubbard only averaged 2.7 yards on his 16 carries last week against the Packers, but he found the end zone for the fifth time this season - and fourth time in five games - and was the clear starter in the backfield once again. The Panthers also moved the ball on offense better than they have for much of the season, giving some hope for fantasy value from the running game headed into fantasy championships.

This week, Hubbard faces a Jacksonville defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing running backs. In an average matchup with a steady workload expected, Hubbard is firmly in the low-end RB2 area once again. He should have a decent enough floor for fantasy managers to insert him into lineups.
