BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold has averaged 22 attempts per game since he emerged under center for Carolina in Week 12. The Panthers have also run the ball 43+ times in three of their four matchups with Darnold guiding the team’s restructured offense.
This coincided with a surge in Chuba Hubbard’s workload as he has now carried 47 times (11.8 per game) since Week 12 - including 12+ during three of those contests.
Carolina also ran the ball 43 times when they hosted Detroit in Week 16, with Hubbard accumulating a career-high 125 yards with his 12 attempts. He also eclipsed 30 yards on two of his initial carries while averaging 10.4 yards per attempt.
D’Onta Foreman also carried 21 times and generated a career-high 165 yards against the Lions. However, there are enough opportunities in Carolina’s ground-oriented approach for Hubbard to operate as a viable flex option. as both backs combined for 61 snaps (Hubbard 31/Foreman 30) during the matchup with Detroit.
Hubbard can also function as the Panthers’ pass-catching back as he did in Week 15 when he accrued a season-best 57 receiving yards. That provides further incentive to include him among this week’s priorities.
