The Carolina Panthers will face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Chuba Hubbard.

Should You Start or Sit Chuba Hubbard in Week 15?
Jonathon Brooks is done for the season with another ACL tear, leaving Chuba Hubbard in position to finish a great statistical season, even if there haven’t been many team wins.
He has seven RB1 finishes under his belt this year, and with game script not likely to be a major concern (Carolina is favored!), there’s no reason to shy away from the one piece on the Panthers’ offense with a consistent role.
Hubbard has authored his first 1,000-yard season of his career, and there is still production to be had down the stretch. He touched the ball 30 times in a losing effort last week — he should clear 20 with ease in this spot, which lands him as a strong RB2 for me this weekend.
