Week 8 at Atlanta Falcons
Chuba Hubbard struggled along with the rest of the Panthers' offense last week against the Giants. He gained just 28 yards on 12 carries, though he added another 28 yards on four receptions. Hubbard is still getting the bulk of the work, so he has fantasy value and upside, but it’s getting harder and harder to buy into this offense.
This week, Hubbard should be the starter at least one more time against a Falcons defense that ranks 29th in aFPA to opposing running backs. As such, he’s worth a start as a solid RB2 option. Hopefully, the Panthers' offense can look a little livelier in a great matchup and open some holes for the rookie back. Workload gives him a nice floor though and we have him ranked inside our top 20 this week.
