Scouting report

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chuba Hubbard had 12 carries for 125 yards last week against the Lions as both he and D’Onta Foreman went over the century mark in a lopsided Panthers victory. Hubbard has been inconsistent in his production and in his workload, but he clearly has a role in the offense, giving him upside in deeper leagues.

This week, Hubbard faces a Buccaneers defense that ranks 14th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Don’t expect another lopsided game in what should be a tough division matchup. With questions about workload and a below-average matchup, we have him ranked as a low-end flex option this week.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Detroit Lions

Chuba Hubbard outsnapped D’Onta Foreman considerably last week, solidifying his status as the pass-catching back in a game where the Panthers were behind. Hubbard only received four carries for 10 yards, but he added 57 yards on three receptions in what was mostly a forgettable day for the Carolina offense.

Hubbard is too risky against the Lions, who rank first in aFPA to opposing running backs. The bright side is that the Lions should be able to put up some points, so the Panthers will be unlikely to be in grind-it-out mode, where we usually see Foreman. Look for a decent snap count again, but middling production. He’s a low-end RB3 option.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Chuba Hubbard had a nice game last week, getting 1a or 1b work, while splitting time with D’Onta Foreman. Hubbard ended up with 74 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and he added 25 yards on three receptions as well. It was good to see him getting plenty of work, but he remains in a timeshare at best, capping his upside.

This week, he has some fringe-RB2 potential in another game that should be low-scoring. The Steelers rank 18th in aFPA to opposing running backs, so it’s not a bad matchup. He’s not a lock for work, but his role in the passing game and the potential for this to be a grind-it-out game plan for the Carolina offense make him worth starting in deeper leagues.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Seattle Seahawks

Chuba Hubbard got some added work in a lopsided victory over the Broncos before the bye last week, gaining 65 yards on 17 carries. Don’t expect that kind of workload in most weeks, as D’Onta Foreman has 24 carries as well and is the lead back in Carolina. Hubbard is worth rostering in deeper leagues in case things change or an injury happens to Foreman, but he’s too risky to start.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Denver Broncos

Chuba Hubbard had four carries and two receptions for 25 total yards from scrimmage last week against the Ravens. While it’s good to see him getting complementary work, the backfield seems to belong to D’Onta Foreman, and until that changes, there’s no reason to roster Hubbard in most fantasy leagues. Leave him on waivers this week.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cincinnati Bengals

Chuba Hubbard is a question mark going into this week’s tilt against the Bengals. Even if he’s active, it’ll be hard for him to wrestle the job back from D’Onte Foreman, who thrived as the starter last week. Keep Hubbard on deeper rosters, but don’t start him, even if he’s active, until we see a couple more games with he and Foreman both healthy.

CAR RB Chuba Hubbard - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Atlanta Falcons

Chuba Hubbard looked pretty good as the starter last week before he left the game with an ankle injury. He had nine carries for 63 yards and a touchdown and added 10 yards on a pair of receptions. Most importantly, he seemed to be the starter over free agent acquisition D’Onta Foreman.

This week, Hubbard gets a decent matchup against the Falcons, who rank 19th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Assuming his ankle checks out – and definitely monitor his status – Hubbard has fringe RB2 potential in a game where the Panthers should be able to play conservatively on offense. Definitely roster him though, as the Carolina backfield will likely continue to evolve as the season continues.

Update: With Hubbard declared out, be sure to get him out of your lineups and D'Onta Foreman now has RB2 potential.
