Read Chuba Hubbard's fantasy football outlook for Week 4 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
With McCaffrey set to miss Week 4 against the Cowboys, Hubbard is the shiny new toy for fantasy managers who were fortunate enough to get him on the waiver wire. The rookie entered the game in relief of the consensus No. 1 overall fantasy pick last Thursday night against the Houston Texans and looked impressive. He carried the ball 11 times 52 yards and caught three passes for an additional 27 yards. In what used to be a dream matchup for running backs, the Cowboys have surprisingly been solid against the run this season. They have given up just 70.3 rushing yards per game, good for the sixth-fewest in the NFL. Hubbard will likely need a lot of volume in this game to produce solid numbers for fantasy managers if the Cowboys continue to play lights out against the run.
Many are expecting that Hubbard gets all the work in this one, but it is hard to believe that Royce Freeman won’t have much of a role in McCaffrey’s absence. He did handle just five carries against the Texans, but Matt Rhule has gone on record saying that both running backs will “play a lot” for however long their superstar dual-threat is sidelined. Too much stock shouldn't be put into their usage from Week 3, because typically teams don’t exactly have much of a role planned out for their No. 3 running back heading into a game. There is still the possibility that they take a split backfield approach considering Freeman is still a serviceable NFL player that can contribute, so fantasy managers may want to wait a week before slotting Hubbard into their RB2 or FLEX spot.
