From the episode

If Jonathan Brooks plays, uh, it doesn't sound like Brooks is going to be like the workhorse guy that he may have been. And if Chuba was out. So I think Chuba is going to have a pretty significant role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Hubbard expected to have significant role in Week 1 if Brooks limited or out.

Hubbard is expected to have a pretty significant role in Week 1 against the Bears, especially if Jonathan Brooks doesn't play or isn't the workhorse. The source recommends Hubbard as a flex option for Week 1, though the recommendation is stronger in PPR formats where catch count matters less.
