The Carolina Panthers will host the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Chuba Hubbard.
Is Hubbard Playing in Week 10?
Hubbard is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Panthers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Hubbard in Week 10?
I don’t know if we are yet in the droppable stage of disappointment, but we aren’t far from it.
The Panthers displayed patience with Chuba Hubbard following the injury, but the Rico Dowdle run hasn’t slowed, and that had this coaching staff suggesting that the pivot was coming.
And it did!
Hubbard was on the field for just 20.4% of Carolina’s offensive snaps in the upset win over the Packers, netting five touches to 27 for Dowdle.
At best, you’re holding a handcuff on a run-centric offense, but are you really holding a player for their contingent value only on an offense like this?
Long-term, no. For another week or two, you can justify it with bye weeks still very much in play. But if things don’t change in a meaningful way, this is exactly the type of profile that you cut as December approaches in an effort to craft an optimal lineup for your postseason.
