BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chuba Hubbard entered his third season as Carolina’s unquestioned RB2. However, the size of his workload was uncertain after Miles Sanders signed a four-year contract with the Panthers in March. Hubbard’s involvement during the team’s season opener was promising, which has vaulted him among this week’s potential roster additions.
Sanders' ADP rose to Round 6 (65/RB24) during draft season, in anticipation of a sizable workload that he could procure in his new environment. He did accumulate 44 snaps when Carolina traveled to Atlanta in Week 1. He also generated 98 total yards on 22 touches and assembled 72 rushing yards on 18 carries.
Hubbard’s role as Carolina’s unquestioned RB2 propelled him to 28 snaps, 11 touches, and 69 total yards. He also bolted for 60 yards with his nine carries, while averaging 6.7 yards per attempt.
Hubbard is not lurking as a legitimate threat to confiscate Sanders’ lead back responsibilities, although he has still emerged as a viable roster option. He would ascend into an extensive workload if Sanders is forced to the sideline at any point during the season. That would elevate Hubbard into consideration as a low-end RB2 if that transpires.
