Hubbard is noted as part of Carolina's backfield where pass-game targets and gadget plays may influence WRs, adding a dimension to the offense that could siphon targets away from Legette.

<p>Chuba Hubbard has been limited to five yards on four carries, leaving the Panthers’ rushing attack largely ineffective and increasing the burden on Young.</p>

Chuba Hubbard headlines Carolina’s rushing attack; his ability to hit the edge and grind out yards will test Arizona’s run defense and set up Young’s play-action verticals.

Carolina's Hubbard opened Week 1 with 57 rushing yards and a 27-yard receiving TD; Dowdle’s small role didn’t cut into his workload. Week 2 vs Arizona could favor the ground game, with Hubbard projected as an RB2/Flex in non-PPR and better value in PPR.

Hubbard could see a larger role if Carolina trails or if the run game proves effective; bettors and fantasy managers will watch his involvement closely, especially in a potential pass-catching role.
