Chuba Hubbard Should Hold Fantasy Value In 2024
The Carolina Panthers were an absolute mess last season, but one of the few bright spots was how Chuba Hubbard emerged. He had career-best stats in multiple departments. As a rusher, he carried the ball 238 times and had 902 rushing yards and 5 rushing touchdowns. Even as a pass catcher, he did well.
He was targeted 44 times and made 39 receptions for 233 receiving yards. Hubbard had double-digit fantasy points in seven games, six of which came from Week 12 on. So, in his last seven games, he had double-digit points in six of them.
During the Frank Reich era, this was all done with a bad offensive line, poor quarterback play, and a dysfunctional mess. This season, a lot has changed with Carolina investing in the offensive line and changing coaches. If we can take anything from the Canales coaching style, once he picks a main running back, they will be treated like a workhorse.
There is one big risk with taking Chuba Hubbard in fantasy; his name is Jonathan Brooks. Carolina used a 2nd round pick on Brooks in the 2024 NFL Draft, and there is a big chance he will take touches away from Hubbard if he is healthy. Maybe Miles Sanders can come back and play like he did as an Eagle. Chuba Hubbard is a reliable option at running back in any fantasy league. Just beware of the crowded backfield that he is in.
Our consensus projections for Hubbard in the 2024 season are 165 carries for 773 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns. As well as 23 receptions, 176 yards, and 1 touchdown.
