Chuba Hubbard rushed 19 times for 82 yards in the Panthers’ Week 3 loss to the Browns, adding four receptions for 28 yards.
With Jonathon Brooks on injured reserve, Hubbard’s 23 touches were nine more than he handled in Week 2, and 10 more than Week 1. Although he ceded a smattering of snaps to new backup AJ Dillon, he was a near every-down player in this road loss. Hubbard lacks high-end fantasy upside, but his floor right now is very much that of a locked-in RB2. That will be especially true for matchups like next week’s date with the defensively-challenged Lions.
