The Carolina Panthers will visit the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. 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 Chuba Hubbard Playing in Week 11?
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 11?
Dave Canales indicated prior to Week 9 that this backfield was shifting in Rico Dowdle’s favor and him holding a 43-8 carry edge over Chuba Hubbard since those comments, I think it’s safe to say we have a bellcow situation.
Clear handcuffs have a spot on very good fantasy rosters, but if you’re clawing for every win you can get, Hubbard doesn’t need to be rostered. The Panthers still have the bye ahead of them (Week 14) and with the only matchup that looks advantageous moving forward being a rematch of what we saw over the weekend against the Saints (Carolina ran 23 times for 73 yards), there’s next to no chance that we get a situation where this backfield supports multiple running backs.
Rostering a handcuff isn’t wrong. Rostering a handcuff in a below-average offense that has a tough remaining schedule?
That’s a different story if you’re pressed for roster space.
