Chuba Hubbard

Chuba Hubbard followed up his big breakout 2024 season with a stinker in 2025. Last year, Chuba Hubbard fell apart as the RB40 in fantasy points per game. Yes, he dealt with a calf injury for part of the season, but he also lost his starting job during the season to Rico Dowdle. Hubbard was arguably the most inefficient running back in the NFL last year. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked dead last in missed tackle rate and explosive run rate (zero explosive runs) while also sitting at 47th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). If Jonathon Brooks is fully healthy (I think he will be), he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp. I'll be avoiding Hubbard in drafts this year, especially with him also dealing with a hamstring injury in camp now.

Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) is week-to-week with a hamstring injury per HC Dave Canales. He is expected to play in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact

While it sounds like Hubbard should be good to go for the season opener, he could still be limited following a multi-week absence. With that said, it’s now wheels up for Jonathon Brooks, who’s now going to see his ADP rise yet again.
