Negative signalProjection

Hubbard's RB8 Week 1 finish didn't prevent backup Dowdle from outperforming him.

Matthew Berry highlights Hubbard as a cautionary tale: Hubbard scored 17.9 points and finished as RB8 in Week 1 2025, but scored double-digit fantasy points only two more times all season; meanwhile his backup Rico Dowdle averaged 13.3 PPG, including 3 weeks where Dowdle scored over 28 fantasy points. The lesson: strong Week 1 does not guarantee consistent role or production.
