BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Miles Sanders secured status as Carolina’s primary back when he signed a four-year contract with the Panthers. He is an unsurprising team leader in multiple rushing categories. However, Chuba Hubbard has delivered encouraging numbers while functioning as the Panthers' RB2.
Sanders leads Carolina’s backfield in snaps (76), rushing attempts (32), and rushing yardage (115) while averaging 3.6 yards per attempt. Hubbard has performed effectively with his 47 snaps while accumulating 76 yards with his 11 carries (6.9 yards per attempt). Hubbard has also surpassed Sanders in yards after contact per attempt (4.0/1.7).
Hubbard's performance also propelled him to an 82.1 rushing grade from PFF, which was the second-highest grade at his position in Week 1. He is firmly positioned as Carolina’s unchallenged backup to Sanders, which would launch Hubbard into a sizable workload if Sanders were unavailable at any point during the season.
This supplies the incentive to secure a Hubbard this week if you are currently relying on Sanders in your lineups. Hubbard is also a viable roster stash for all managers, as he could emerge as an RB3/flex option during any absence by Sanders.
