From the episode

I don't think that Chuba Hubbard is going to completely go away. So that's like the one thing that's kind of in the back of my mind as Jonathan Brooks. I think the hype could get out of control here in a second, but there's a reason why he's priced ahead of a lot of the other RB twos.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Hubbard won't prevent Brooks from emerging, but could split early-season work.

Hubbard is not expected to completely go away if Jonathan Brooks emerges as the lead back; he's a fine enough back but won't prevent Brooks from reclaiming a lead role if Brooks returns to his early second-round profile. There's a chance Brooks and Hubbard split work early in the season, with a toss-up of who's actually the starter by Halloween and Thanksgiving. Hubbard's presence doesn't significantly diminish Brooks' upside.
