BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard won't be the team's starter by the end of the year. Rookie Jonathon Brooks opens the year on the PUP list and is set to miss at least four games as he recovers from a torn ACL. Once he's back, he should quickly ascend to the top of the depth chart.
But Hubbard should provide Carolina with solid production until then. The former Oklahoma State player isn't a star, but he's an NFL-caliber running back who finished last season with over 1,000 scrimmage yards.

In Week 1, Hubbard takes on the New Orleans Saints. The team allowed the 11th-most rushing yards per game last season, so this is likely to be a good matchup for Hubbard. Miles Sanders might cut into his role more than fantasy managers would like, but Hubbard is still a low-end RB2 play for Week 1 of the season.
