Chuba Hubbard Week 14 Outlook - Panthers at Saints

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 7th 2023, 1:05pm EST

This is Hubbard's backfield. Last week, he played 65% of the snaps, which is his highest snap share since Week 9. He had 25 carries with 104 rushing yards (zero targets) while also seeing all of the red zone work for this backfield. Among 58 qualifying backs, Hubbard ranks 31st in missed tackles forced per attempt and 24th in yards after contact per attempt. He should see 20-plus opportunities against a Saints' run defense that has struggled over the last few weeks. Since Week 8, New Orleans has allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the second-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the highest yards per carry to zone runs (Hubbard 58% zone). Don't be surprised if Hubbard is a strong RB2 this week. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2/3
