Chuba Hubbard A Surefire Starter Against Commanders
1 month agoCarolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was on the field for 82% of the team's offensive snaps last week against Atlanta—his highest mark of the season by nearly 10 percentage points. Facing a lackluster Commanders run defense in Week 7, who are 21st in points allowed to halfbacks, Hubbard is primed for a productive outing. The fourth-year veteran has recorded 100 scrimmage yards in three of his last four games and has caught four or more passes in his previous five contests. Receptions could be key in this matchup, as Washington has been involved in multiple shootouts this year. While the team did open the 21-day practice window for rookie running back Jonathan Brooks (knee), the second-round pick is listed out for this matchup. While Hubbard managers should be excited about his production thus far, it could soon be a more shared workload in Carolina. Hubbard is ranked ninth among all running backs in the latest RotoBaller rankings and is a surefire starter against the Commanders for Week 9.
