Should You Start or Sit Chuba Hubbard in Week 14?
Hubbard finally fell flat. It finally happened. He was on the field plenty (at least a 78% snap share in four straight games), but his 12 touches carried very little value (5.9 expected PPR points). For just the third time this season, Hubbard didn’t see a target, and his single red-zone touch tanked his potential (16 red-zone touches over his three games prior).
He finished a brutal day with a crippling fumble in overtime while in field goal range. I’m willing to overlook this dud, but I’m not sure the trains get back on the tracks against a peaking Eagles defense that just forced Derrick Henry into his second-lowest boom/bust rate of the season.
For the season, Philadelphia surrenders RB rushing scores at the third-lowest rate. With the second-best third-down unit in the league, are we sure that Carolina holds the ball for more than 25 minutes in this one? Jonathan Brooks (six carries for 18 yards) did nothing on Sunday to make Hubbard’s managers nervous.
I think you’ll be OK during the fantasy playoffs, but asking him to produce top-15 numbers against a defense that has yet to allow 18 fantasy points to a running back this season is a lot.
