Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard finished with 250 carries in 2024 - the 11th most in the league and second most among all running backs who played 15 games or fewer. It is a number that will drop in 2025 in part because the Panthers want Hubbard to be fresh for four more seasons at a minimum, according to Alex Zietlow of the Charlotte Observer.
Huddle Up: Zietlow makes it clear that Hubbard will still get the overwhelming majority of the touches, as should be the case. Interestingly, he also believes Rico Dowdle and Trevor Etienne will split carries behind him. On what should be an improved offense in 2025, Hubbard has a good chance of beating his late fourth-round ADP as the 17th running back off the board.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed for 803 yards and seven touchdowns on first down during the 2024 season.
Huddle Up: Hubbard likely will lose some work to Rico Dowdle this upcoming season but should still see a majority of the work at running back. He can be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in most leagues in 2025.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf) will not need to undergo surgery on his injured calf this offseason, according to head coach Dave Canales.
Huddle Up: Hubbard likely will be able to participate in some of the offseason workout and likely will enter training camp as the starter after receiving recently receiving an extension. He played very well this season and can be a No. 2 running back in most fantasy leagues next season.

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf, knee) was placed on injured reserve on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Hubbard's career year ends prematurely, but his future is bright after inking an extension with the Panthers. He will return to lead back duties in 2025 and rookie Jonathon Brooks isn't a threat for now as he recovers from another torn ACL. With Hubbard done for the rest of the season, Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone are expected to split work, but neither is a suggested lineup option.

Carolina Panthers RBs Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone are expected to split playing time during the final two games of the regular season, in the wake of RB Chuba Hubbard's (calf, knee) season-ending Grade 2 calf strain, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Huddle Up: At this point, it is unknown if Blackshear and Boone will split carries evenly or if one player will get considerably more playing time than the other. Owners should be able to find better fantasy options elsewhere and should avoid this situation altogether.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf, knee) is expected to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 28, due to calf and knee injuries, according to a league source.
Huddle Up: Hubbard will miss the remainder of the season after rushing for a career-high 1,195 yards in 2024. Although the Panthers were eliminated from playoff contention a while ago, this news is still surprising given that Hubbard rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16 and had logged a pair of limited practice sessions over the past two days. RB Raheem Blackshear is the only healthy running back currently on the Panthers' roster, with RBs Mike Boone and Emani Bailey available from the practice squad, but none of them are worth starting in any fantasy format.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (knee) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Dec. 27, and is listed as questionable on the final Week 17 injury report.
Huddle Up: Hubbard logged two limited practices to end the week so he's trending in the right direction. He's a back-end RB1 option against Tampa Bay as long as he's active.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 26.
Huddle Up: Hubbard appears to be making progress in his recovery and should have a good chance to play this week. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation because Hubbard is a weekly starting option when healthy.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (rest) did not take part in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Huddle Up: It's just a rest day for Hubbard, who remains a high-end RB2 play entering Week 17.
