BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: After a solid rookie year in 2021, Chuba Hubbard seemingly regressed in his sophomore campaign, which caused the Carolina Panthers to splash the cash on Miles Sanders in the offseason.
But Hubbard didn't back down from the challenge and has massively outperformed Sanders this year. Over the last three weeks, Hubbard has racked up 236 yards on the ground while adding 56 yards as a receiver and scoring three touchdowns. These numbers resulted in Hubbard finishing as the overall RB6 (standard format) in this timespan.

Hubbard has been on a roll lately, but he could face a very difficult challenge against the Falcons this week. The Falcons have allowed the third-fewest PPR points per game to running backs, and have yet to allow a single rushing TD to RBs, which is extremely impressive.
Hubbard himself has scored twice against Atlanta, with both coming in his rookie season. Atlanta's defense decreases Hubbard's fantasy value to an RB3, but there's a chance that he can become the first running back to run for a touchdown against them this season.
