2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hubbard did the improbable and sent Miles Sanders to the bench last year even after Carolina gave the former Eagle a four-year, $25.4 million contract. Hubbard didn't exactly set the league on fire, averaging 3.8 yards per carry, but he was mostly impressive when you factor in how bad the Panthers offense was. Even with his 2023 accomplishments noted, Hubbard's fantasy value took a major hit when the Panthers made Jonathon Brooks (knee) the first running back selected in the 2024 Draft. The Panthers took Brooks at No. 46 overall with the intention of making him their starting running back at some point, though not necessarily right away as he completes his rehab from an ACL tear suffered in November. While solid as a runner, Hubbard is particularly vulnerable to Brooks on passing downs. Hubbard has improved his pass catching considerably since dropping seven of 37 targets as a rookie, but it's still a relative weakness for him and a strength for the incoming rookie.

RANKS
Another 100-yard performance Sunday
Hubbard rushed 18 times for 104 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals. He added four receptions on four targets for 17 yards.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year running back's fantasy relevance has skyrocketed since Andy Dalton took over for Bryce Young in Week 3. Hubbard has now accumulated 290 yards from scrimmage, including back-to-back 100-plus yard rushing performances, and scored two touchdowns over Carolina's last two contests. He managed to dominate Sunday despite the game script favoring the air attack, with the Panthers trailing by as many as 17 points in the second half. Hubbard is expected to continue producing with Dalton at the helm, but he could see some of his workload reduced when Jonathon Brooks (knee) returns from injury in the next couple weeks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Hubbard teamed with D'Onta Foreman to handle the rushing attack for the Panthers after Christian McCaffrey was traded last year. Following a midseason ankle injury, Hubbard totaled 490 yards in the last six games and averaged 5.0 yards per rush. Foreman is gone, but the signing of Miles Sanders to a four-year, $25.4 million contract makes certain that Hubbard won't be Carolina's starting running back in his third NFL season. However, the 2021 fourth-round pick might have an advantage over Sanders when it comes to pass catching -- a task Sanders struggled with in Philadelphia after his 2019 rookie season. Neither player is as good a receiver as likely RB3 Raheem Blackshear, but Hubbard at least improved last year, generating 1.66 yards per route run (89th percentile).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still starting for now
Hubbard appears set to begin the season as the Panthers' starting running back, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carolina selected Jonathan Brooks with the 46th overall pick in the 2024 Draft as the first running back off the board, but the Texas product is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last November and has yet to begin practicing. That likely means he will begin the season on the reserve/PUP list, which would keep him out until at least Week 5. While Brooks is on the shelf, Hubbard will retain the starting job he held in 2023, when he recorded a career-high 902 rushing yards over 17 games.
