ANALYSIS: Chuba Hubbard continues to capitalize on his opportunities even though he is sharing touches with Miles Sanders and is functioning in a Carolina offense that ranks 29th in both rushing (92.3 yards per game) and run play percentage (36.0%).
Hubbard has accumulated 9+ rushing attempts during each of his last eight matchups and has carried 14+ times in five of those contests. He has also generated 299 rushing yards since Week 6.
That includes Hubbard’s numbers in Week 12 when he accumulated 47 snaps and 14 attempts while generating 45 rushing yards and his second rushing touchdown of the season. Hubbard also produced a season-high 47 yards as a receiving weapon, while collecting all five of his targets.
Miles Sanders played on 27 snaps and accumulated 15 rushing attempts in Week 12. However, he only manufactured 28 yards, while averaging 1.9 yards per attempt. It was the sixth game this season in which Sanders failed to exceed an average of 3.1 per attempt.
Hubbard’s usage should be sustained during Carolina’s upcoming matchups. His favorable workloads also combine with his effectiveness in positioning him to operate as an RB2/RB3 in your lineups.
