Should You Start or Sit Chuba Hubbard in Week 7?
The Panthers were blasted in the season opener. The Saints hung 47 points on them and Hubbard touched the ball only six times in a game that was over before many had realized it had started.
Let’s say you benched Hubbard the following week because of Bryce Young, then you saw enough in the loss (6.4 yards per carry with five targets) to play him in Week 3. That means that, in the four games in which you’ve started Carolina’s lead back, you have a back who is pacing for 1,730 rushing yards and 72 receptions.
There has never been a 1,700/70 season in the history of the NFL.
The Commanders have allowed at least 14.5 fantasy points to a running back in five of six contests this season, slowing only a Browns offense that has gotten it its own way as much as anyone up to this point.
