Hubbard's 2025 collapse, worst-in-league efficiency, and camp hamstring injury warrant avoidance.

Hubbard followed his breakout 2024 season with a collapse in 2025, finishing as RB40 in fantasy points per game. He was arguably the most inefficient running back in the NFL last year: ranked dead last in missed tackle rate and explosive run rate (zero explosive runs) among 49 qualifying backs, and 47th in yards after contact per attempt. Though he dealt with a calf injury during the season, he also lost his starting job to Rico Dowdle. Now dealing with a hamstring injury in camp, Hubbard faces competition from Jonathon Brooks, who could be the backfield leader if healthy. The source is avoiding Hubbard in drafts.
