Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) should be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Dave Canales.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Hubbard will be able to practice leading up to Week 1. He should receive a majority of the carries in the running game this season and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) will not play in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 21.
Huddle Up: Hubbard is unlikely to play again during the preseason, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if he will be ready for Week 1. He will receive a majority of the carries in the running game this season and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) is out of practice Thursday, Aug. 13, due to a hamstring injury. Head coach Dave Canales said he's confident Hubbard will be ready for Week 1.
Huddle Up: Jonathon Brooks' stock receives another boost with Hubbard on the shelf. Brooks was already expected to take over as lead back, and this setback for Hubbard gives him more runway. Hubbard's ADP is 80, and Brooks' is at 125. Look for that gap to be bridged in the coming days. Both are RB3s that you'll need to handcuff together.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks needs to stay healthy, but could potentially become the lead back in Carolina over Chuba Hubbard, in the opinion of Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com on Monday, June 8.
Huddle Up: Brooks has been injured for most of his NFL career thus far, missing all of last season recuperating from a torn ACL. If he can stay healthy, Brooks has a chance to be a real thorn in Chuba Hubbard's side for the lead back role in Carolina. Brooks is going to have a LOT of buzz this summer as a potential steal in the later rounds.

RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 13 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 13 yards, and Rico Dowdle chipped in nine rushing yards on five carries and caught one pass for six yards.

LB Christian Rozeboom led the way with nine tackles, including five solo stops, and CB Mike Jackson added three tackles, four passes defensed and an interception.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed for 10 yards on five carries against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. He also caught two passes for seven yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Hubbard started off the season as the starter but has been sharing playing time with Rico Dowdle during the second half of the season. He is under contract for three more seasons and should be a candidate for the starting job next season. He can be a No. 2 or No. 3 fantasy back depending on his workload.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed for 12 yards on four carries against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. He also caught three passes for six yards during the game but did lose a fumble.
Huddle Up: Hubbard has been receiving a decent amount of touches each game but was not able to find much success against the Seahawks this week. He should see a handful of touches next week but can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed six times for 27 yards in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while going for a single 7-yard reception on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Hubbard has played his way back into a timeshare, and he had 4.5 yards per carry (YPC), while Rico Dowdle rushed nine times for 29 yards, or 3.2 YPC. He should be treated more as a RB3 or flex fantasy option in most leagues heading into Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed eight times for 29 yards in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints, while adding a 9-yard reception on his only target.
Huddle Up: Hubbard had eight rushing attempts, to 16 for Rico Dowdle, who had 3.1 yards per carry (YPC), to 3.8 YPC for Hubbard. Both players continue to jockey for the No. 1 job, and neither is running away with the job. For now, treat Hubbard as a low-end RB3 or flex fantasy option heading into Week 16.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard will be used as more than just a third-down back moving forward, according to head coach Dave Canales. "And especially because of how he's looked in the last couple of weeks, he's looked really strong, really powerful, and just making sure that he's a weapon for us in different ways."
Huddle Up: After logging 21 total touches combined from Week 9 through Week 12, Hubbard saw 19 touches in Week 13 alone, just one fewer than Rico Dowdle. Canales apparently liked what he saw with the balanced attack and is planning to utilize the approach moving forward. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the Panthers are on bye in Week 14, so the first chance to see how touches are divided will come at a pivotal point in the fantasy season.
