Chuba Hubbard start or sit: Week 13 fantasy football advice

The 6-6 Carolina Panthers host the 9-2 Los Angeles Rams on Sunday as 10.5-point home underdogs. Despite their six wins, the odds makers understand Carolina has plenty of problems, which start with QB Bryce Young. The team continues to try to hide him by running the ball with Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard, but with mixed results of late.

Below, we’ll go over Chuba Hubbard’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 13.

Hubbard started as the lead back this season in Carolina, but Dowdle took over by sheer force, as he played too well to not get the nod. Now Hubbard, who is still a good back, has taken a back seat to Dowdle. Last week he did see his snap percentage at its highest since Week 8 and he caught four passes, his most since Week 2. In a game that the Panthers should trail, Hubbard could PPR scam his way into some fantasy points. But Dowdle is also seeing plenty of work as a receiver.

In the end, it’s too risky to start Hubbard this week, even in PPR. Maybe he continues to see an uptick in snap percentage, but it’s a guessing game at this point.
