Difficult Matchup for Chuba Hubbard in Week 3
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard looks to rebound in a tough Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Hubbard had a rough day on the ground in Week 2, gaining just 38 yards on 10 carries as the team fell behind early. However, he was able to salvage his fantasy day with his involvement in the passing game, hauling in five catches for 39 yards and a touchdown. His Week 3 matchup with the Falcons poses an even tougher test. At 1-1, the Falcons' defense looks like a much-improved unit, allowing only 14.5 points per game. However, the Falcons' defense may be more susceptible to running backs in the passing game. Hubbard's Week 2 performance, combined with the vulnerability of the Falcons' defense to pass-catching backs, makes him a decent start. While you can't trust him as an RB2, Hubbard against this stout Falcons defense is better viewed as a solid RB3 or flex option in PPR leagues.
