Chuba Hubbard is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chuba Hubbard was limited to a 14.4% snap share, 20 rushing attempts (4.0 per game), and 111 rushing yards (22.2 per game) from Weeks 1-10. However, Hubbard’s involvement in Carolina’s offense has expanded since Week 12, as he has accumulated 35 rushing attempts, 149 rushing yards, and generated 82 yards as a receiver.
Hubbard’s numbers as a rusher were constructed primarily in Weeks 12 and 14 when he carried 31 times and assembled 139 yards. Carolina had averaged 68.5 offensive plays during those two contests, while the Panthers ran the ball 92 times. They were limited to 43 offensive plays and 16 rushing attempts during their Week 15 visit to Pittsburgh, but Hubbard was deployed as the team’s pass-catching back (three targets/three receptions/57 yards).
He will continue to accumulate carries in a rotation with D’Onta Foreman during games in which the Panthers can utilize their rushing attack with greater frequency. He is also the preferred pass-catching presence from the backfield when that scenario does not occur. This elevates him among this week’s flex candidates if you are operating with deeper rosters in PPR leagues.
