Alex Zietlow argues Chuba Hubbard is the Panthers' RB1 despite Jonathon Brooks being drafted five spots higher in ESPN fantasy drafts. Hubbard is a team captain and "probably the most important voice in that locker room outside of Bryce Young," and he produced a 1000-yard season in 2024 despite missing games due to injury, demonstrating his value and workload security.PositiveProjectionSep 12, 2026
The source predicts Chuba Hubbard will lead the Panthers with over 70 rushing yards in Week 1 against Chicago, which would hit the over on his current betting line of 50.5 yards. This projection reflects confidence in the Panthers establishing their run game against a Bears defense that allowed the 6th most rushing yards last season.NegativeRoleSep 10, 2026
