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.

Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle will be utilized heavily on early downs, but the Panthers intend to use both he and RB Chuba Hubbard in a balanced rushing attack, according to head coach Dave Canales. "And for Rico, you know, giving him the lion's share of some of those first and second down, those early series and all that is a great way to just get him the ball."
Huddle Up: Dowdle's efficiency has dipped in recent weeks, and he has been held below 60 rushing yards in four straight games. He has logged at least 20 touches in three of those games, but it sounds like the Panthers will aim for a more balanced approach between Dowdle and Hubbard when the team returns to action in Week 15. Dowdle's ceiling will likely suffer as a result, creating unwanted question marks for fantasy owners at a critical point in the season.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 17 times for 83 yards in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, while adding two receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown on two targets.
Huddle Up: Hubbard admitted he wasn't quite 100 percent when he returned from a calf injury, and he had been picking up scraps behind Rico Dowdle. However, the latter has tailed off in recent games, so Hubbard saw a larger role in the offense in Week 13 and he took advantage of the opportunity. He should be treated as a RB3 or flex fantasy option with upside heading into Week 15 once the team returns from a bye.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard had three carries for 16 yards, along with four receptions for 27 yards, in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Huddle Up: Good news, this was Hubbard's best game since he was replaced as lead back by Rico Dowdle. Bad news, this was Hubbard's best game since he was replaced as lead back by Rico Dowdle. The veteran is only seeing a handful of opportunities each week, and when 43 yards is the most he's mustered in the month of November, you know his value is only as roster depth and/or a handcuff for Dowdle owners.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard posted four carries for 21 yards in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons, while adding a 7-yard grab on three targets.
Huddle Up: Hubbard averaged 5.3 yards per carry (YPC) on limited touches, while Rico Dowdle averaged 2.4 YPC on 19 totes. It wouldn't be surprising to see Hubbard regain some of his lost touches, as Dowdle has struggled as the workhorse in the past couple of games. However, keep Hubbard reserved in all fantasy leagues until he starts to see about 10-15 touches per game again.
