Chuba Hubbard is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 13 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: We can spend all offseason arguing about whether Christian McCaffrey is made of glass or if the Panthers are being too cautious with their franchise back but for now, fantasy GMs have to face the prospect of replacing him again. CMC was put on the Injured Reserve list on Monday afternoon so after the Week 13 bye it will be Hubbard taking over as he did between Weeks 4-8. He is averaging 3.5 yards per carry in his rookie year but from a fantasy standpoint, he was solid as a starter, averaging 83.4 total yards and 2.6 receptions per game in that span with two touchdowns. The attrition at running back makes Hubbard a weekly RB2 the rest of the year but he won't be a league winner with Cam Newton vulturing goal-line work.
