Video: Fantasy Football Draft Strategy: 10 Must-Draft Players w/ Jared Smola
Hubard ranked 41st or worse in yards per carry, rush yards over expected per attempt, yards after contact per attempt and missed tackles forced per attempt. We saw Hubard lose that lead job to Rico Dael, you know, in the middle of last season... there's actually like a lot of conversation you're going to hear in podcasts over the next couple weeks is Chuba Hubard versus Jonathan Brooks, but in high stakes formats like NFC and FFPC, there is a clear gap right now. It's about a 20 spot gap.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Ranked 41st or worse in efficiency metrics; lost lead job mid-season.

Jared cites Hubbard's poor 2024 performance as justification for Jonathan Brooks' upside. Among 51 RBs with 90+ carries, Hubbard ranked 41st or worse in yards per carry, rush yards over expected per attempt, yards after contact per attempt, and missed tackles forced per attempt. He lost the lead job to Rico Dael mid-season. In high-stakes formats (NFC, FFPC), Hubbard sits approximately 20 ADP spots behind Jonathan Brooks, creating a clear gap in market valuation between the two Carolina running backs.
