BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chuba Hubbard had averaged 24.3 snaps per game from Weeks 1-3, while averaging 4.0 carries, and 26 yards per game. However, his numbers expanded prior to Carolina’s Week 7 bye, as he had averaged 40 snaps, 14 attempts, and 54.7 yards per game from Weeks 4-6.
That includes his numbers in Week 6, when Hubbard secured season highs in snaps (53), rushing attempts (19), and rushing yards (88).
Hubbard also led the Panthers’ backfield in each category, as Miles Sanders averaged 31 snaps, 10 carries, and 25.5 yards per game during that sequence. Sanders was also contending with a shoulder injury that sidelined him in Week 6.
It was unclear whether Hubbard’s surge in usage and output would be sustained following Carolina’s bye. However, Hubbard ultimately led the Panthers' backfield in snaps (45), rushing attempts (15), rushing yards (28), and routes run (45).
Sanders was involved on 12 snaps, while being relegated to just two carries, and failing to accumulate any rushing yardage.
Hubbard’s ability to operate with a more extensive workload than Sanders both before and after the Panthers’ bye has vaulted him atop the list of this week’s targets from the waiver wire.
