Chuba Hubbard is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 12 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 62% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Despite consistently outplaying big-money free agent acquisition Miles Sanders, Hubbard has failed to impress the Carolina organization enough to earn a true lead role in the Panthers backfield. Sanders' workload spiked in a Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, leaving Hubbard with only 10 carries and two targets which he converted into 65 total yards.
While Hubbard has often been efficient while sharing the load with Sanders to varying degrees, he's playing behind a bad Carolina offensive line. The entire Panthers offense has struggled with rookie Bryce Young at the helm, including the backfield.
It's tough to get too excited about Hubbard - or Sanders - as this situation seems destined to be a good old-fashioned RBBC situation for the remainder of 2023. That said, fantasy managers in deeper leagues in need of FLEX help can give Hubbard a look, while managers in smaller leagues can stash him in the event of an injury to Sanders.
Carolina Panthers
Chuba Hubbard led the Panthers with 10 carries for 57 yards, averaging 5.7 yards per attempt with his longest run being 14 yards. Miles Sanders added 50 yards on 11 carries.
Bryce Young rushed for 3 yards on 2 carries. Woof.
