Chuba Hubbard
RB - Carolina Panthers
2024 Outlook
Carolina Panthers RB was named the "lead back going forward" by Dan Morgan, the team's general manager and president of football operations.
Fantasy Impact
Hubbard, who took over the RB1 role from Miles Sanders midseason, started all 12 games for the Panthers after Week 6. He averaged 62.3 yards per game as a starter, including five total touchdowns and five games with 80+ rushing yards. The Panthers are set to head into 2024 with Hubbard, who is entering his fourth season, and Sanders, who will be in Year 2 of his big contract and will become cuttable after 2024.
Chuba Hubbard rushed for 83 yards on 23 carries in the Panthers’ 9-0 loss to Tampa Bay. He caught 2-of-2 targets for nine yards.
Fantasy Impact
Hubbard turned in an okay performance, averaging 3.6 yards per carry against a solid Tampa Bay defense. The 24-year-old is under contract for the 2024 season and figures to have the inside track at the starting running back job, if the Panthers do not add another option in the draft or free agency.
Chuba Hubbard ran for 45 yards on 11 carries in the Panthers' 26-0 loss against the Jaguars. He also caught 4-of-5 targets for an additional 26 yards through the air.
