Chuba Hubbard averaged 4.7 yards per carry and caught 4 passes on Sunday to keep drives going, but only ran the ball 7 times total due to the Panthers falling quickly behind on the scoreboard. Against the Packers, whose rush defense is middle-of-the-pack statistically, a balanced offensive attack will be critical; the Packers' passing defense is top 10 in yards per pass and yards per game, making ground game involvement essential for the Panthers to stay on schedule.

Hubbard had 12 of the Panthers' 23 back opportunities (52.2%; 13 of 25 true) on 7 carries for 33 yards and 4 catches for 27 yards, down from 30 of 31 in Week 6. He earned 87.5% of first-half back work but had no touch in the fourth quarter and no red-zone carry. Snap share dropped to 61% from 94% in Week 6. In a game Carolina trailed by 27 or more, Hubbard's usage declined significantly despite receiving a growing receiving role (5 targets).

Ranked in C tier; primary concern is D'Onta Foreman's theoretical return, which will reduce Hubbard's workload; secondary concern is Bryce Young's quarterback volatility—the source notes 'there are more games where we get the bad version of Bryce than the good version of Bryce,' and the bad version produces high sack and turnover rates, creating a low floor for Carolina Panthers running backs in given weeks; despite concerns, Hubbard is 'obviously a guy you'd love to have on your fantasy team.'

The source recommends an average 22.5% FAAB bid on Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR), noting his role is one to lean into despite the Panthers' Week 7 blowout loss. Hubbard has finished as an RB1 in five of six games this season, commands 72% of rush attempts with a 58% route rate, and the source is not concerned about Jonathon Brooks stealing work given Brooks' injury history. With the Panthers' bye week behind them, Hubbard offers strong positional security.

Hubbard is RB7 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 19.6 PPR fantasy points per game, higher than Breece Hall (14.2) and Chase Brown (13). He has had back-to-back games with at least 120 rushing yards, a touchdown and 19.1 fantasy points, but faced two struggling run defenses. This week he faces an elite run defense in Tampa Bay, which has held opposing running backs to 17.1 fantasy points per game (fourth-fewest in the NFL), allowed only 64.2 rushing yards per game (second-fewest), and surrendered only two touchdowns to opposing running backs (second-fewest). Nearly 37% of Hubbard's fantasy production this season has come from touchdowns.
