Hubbard likely Carolina lead back despite weak 2025; Brooks hype overblown.
Chuba HubbardRB
Davenport is not buying the torrent of hype surrounding Jonathon Brooks in Carolina, noting that Hubbard will be Carolina's lead back in 2026, quite possibly out of necessity. While Hubbard wasn't especially effective last year, averaging just 3.8 yards per carry and losing the lead back role to Rico Dowdle, two years ago he had a career-high 293 touches, surpassed 1,250 total yards, scored 11 total touchdowns and finished as a top-15 running back in PPR points. Hubbard's ADP is still higher than Brooks, but the youngster is rapidly closing the gap.
