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.
