I do not think Chuba Hubbard is good. Uh last year he ranked dead last in explosive run rate. Uh he had zero. No other running back with at least 100 carries had zero... he had the worst yards per target of any player ever.
STACKED’s take
Dead last in explosive run rate; poor fit for Canales' system despite 2024 RB13 finish.
Scott Barrett argues Chuba Hubbard is not a quality running back despite National Champion Debater's value case. Ranked dead last in explosive run rate in 2024 with zero explosive runs despite 100+ carries—only RB to achieve this distinction; also had worst yards per target of any player ever recorded. These metrics directly conflict with Panthers HC Dave Canales' stated offensive philosophy requiring a do-it-all running back who can catch passes and run effectively, as evidenced by Rashad White's RB1 season under Canales with top-three snap share. Hubbard averaged only 34.1 rushing yards per game in 2024, while backup Rico Dattle averaged 195 rushing yards per game in the two games Hubbard missed, suggesting limited upside in a committee backfield. Pre-calf injury (week 4), Hubbard produced 14 fantasy points per game and 54.3 rushing yards per game; post-injury (week 7 onward) declined to 6.4 fantasy points per game and 26.7 yards per game, indicating lingering effects.
