Scouting report

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.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Green Bay Packers

Chuba Hubbard had a decent enough game last week, rushing 22 times for 87 yards. He also added a pair of receptions for 16 additional yards. It’s good to see Hubbard getting the full workload, providing hope for a few morsels of fantasy goodness out of this horrible offense. Hubbard hasn’t been great this year, but he has over 20 touches in three straight games, so he has a decent enough floor.

This week, Hubbard faces a Green Bay defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect another busy day for Hubbard. While it’s possible the team gets down early and struggles to keep running the ball, the Panthers have shown they’ll lean on Hubbard even when they fall behind. If he continues to put up the touches he’s been getting, he should be worth quality RB2 fantasy numbers this week.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Chuba Hubbard averaged just 3.8 yards per carry against the Saints last week, but he had 23 carries and a pair of receptions, so it was good to see his workload remain significant. He now has 19 or more touches in three straight games.

This week, Hubbard faces a Falcons defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing running backs. In a tougher matchup and a really miserable offense, it’s hard to trust Hubbard. However, he’s getting a significant number of touches, giving him a reasonably high floor. Consider him a fringe-RB2 option this week.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at New Orleans Saints

Chuba Hubbard was the lone bright spot in the Carolina offense last week, rushing for 104 yards and a pair of touchdowns against a typically stingy Tampa Bay run defense. Hubbard received 25 carries, his most of the season, compared to just eight for Miles Sanders. This is a tough offense to buy into, but at least Hubbard is getting double-digit touches each week.

This week, Hubbard faces a Saints defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing running backs. While we hope for a repeat of last week, Hubbard has largely been disappointing when given the full starting job, hovering in the low-end RB2 range. Expect that to be the case this week in a modest matchup.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chuba Hubbard averaged just 3.2 yards on 14 carries in a loss to the Titans last week, but he did find the end zone. It was only his second touchdown on the season and he’s really struggled to put up quality fantasy production, despite averaging 13.3 touches per game on the year. Hubbard is tough to count on this week in a timeshare with Miles Sanders and up against a very good run defense. The Buccaneers rank second in aFPA to opposing running backs. Hubbard should be considered a low-end RB3 at best.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Tennessee Titans

Chuba Hubbard split work with Miles Sanders against the Cowboys last week after taking the bulk of the workload in the previous few weeks. He finished with 65 yards on 10 carries and a pair of receptions. It was nearly a 50-50 split on touches, which isn’t encouraging for Hubbard, who wasn’t very productive in the full-time gig. Neither running back looks particularly good right now, and the Carolina offense looks terrible, so banking on Sanders or Hubbard looks like a losing proposition. There’s upside if he can get touches this week against the Titans, but fantasy managers should still view Hubbard as a low-end RB3 option at best.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Chuba Hubbard seems to have taken over the starting job from Miles Sanders, but he hasn’t been particularly good in that role. He was part of a dreadful offensive performance last week against the Bears, gaining just 23 yards on nine carries. Hubbard has single-digit half-PPR fantasy points in three straight weeks now and has only found the end zone once all season.

This week, Hubbard faces a Dallas defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing running backs. It’s hard to imagine Hubbard getting back on track against this defense, especially in a game where the Panthers are likely to trail the entire time. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere if possible, and view Hubbard as a RB3 option at best.
