Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard carried 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown in a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught his only target for one yard.
Why It Matters: Hubbard topped 100 yards for the second straight game, only the second time in his career he has had consecutive 100-yard outings. He also tied his career high with 28 rush attempts. Hubbard’s touches have increased with fellow Jonathon Brooks out with a core injury. He had 27 combined touches in the first two games and 73 in the last three games. He warrants fantasy RB1 consideration for as long as Brooks is out, although he might be more of a high-end RB2 in Week 7 against the Buccaneers‘ stingy run defense.
