The source cites Chuba Hubbard's 2024 season as a cautionary tale of draft disappointment, noting he 'went to zero' with a series of low-production games (17 rushes, 10 rushes, 0, 0, 0, 7.5, 9.4, 4, 1.7, 2.5, 3.8, 8.3, 20 fantasy points across games).

Ricky Pawol regrets drafting Chuba Hubbard at pick 77, noting that he is likely to keep falling in ADP as Jonathan Brooks enters the seventh round in Underdog drafts and the Commanders running back situation becomes clearer.
