The Carolina Panthers’ running back situation has been quite the adventure, to say the least. It all began with the signing of Miles Sanders in free agency. He started off strong, but Sanders saw a decline in performance following a shoulder injury. Chuba Hubbard stepped in as his replacement, but he struggled, recording four consecutive games with under 11 PPR fantasy points. However, recently there has been an unexpected twist, as Chuba Hubbard fantasy football owners have seen a resurgence, with him posting back-to-back games with over 20 PPR fantasy points.
Chuba Hubbard Fantasy Football Outlook Week 14
This sudden success is likely having Chuba Hubbard fantasy managers considering if we can ride this hot streak into Week 14 and, depending on if it’s DFS or season-long, help you clinch a playoff spot or that number 1 seed! The upcoming challenge is against the Saints, a team that statistically ranks among the top ten least to running backs this season. But there’s an emphasis on “this season,” as recent trends reveal the Saints’ struggles against running backs in the last three games.
In Week 10, Ty Chandler managed to score a touchdown despite having only 45 total yards, putting up 10.5 PPR fantasy points. Week 12 witnessed Bijan Robinson’s explosive performance, accumulating 123 total yards and two touchdowns for a PPR output of 27.3. Last week, David Montgomery followed suit, scoring a touchdown and securing 12.5 PPR fantasy points despite lower total yards than usual. Notably, each of these backs received 15 or more touches, like Hubbard who has received 19 or more touches in his recent two games.
Considering Hubbard’s recent success, ranking as the RB6 in the past two weeks, and the Saints recent struggles against running backs, where they’ve allowed the third-most fantasy points in the last three weeks, Chuba Hubbard emerges as a compelling RB2 or flex play for Week 14.
