Christian McCaffrey Posts Rare Dud in 49ers' Loss

Sunday, October 26, 8:20 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey rushed for just 25 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 8 loss against the Houston Texans. He also caught three of his six targets for an additional 43 receiving yards. McCaffrey had his worst game of the season; his 9.8 points in PPR leagues marked the first time he scored fewer than 22 points in a single game this year. This was a rare dud for McCaffrey, and part of the blame can be attributed to the quarterback position, as Mac Jones (59.4% completion rate, 193 yards, two touchdowns, one interception) struggled to put together many quality drives in place of Brock Purdy (toe). McCaffrey is still one of the most talented running backs in recent NFL history, and he should have no trouble bouncing back against a struggling Giants squad in Week 9.

Panthers Don't Want To Move Chuba Hubbard

Wednesday, October 29, 9:09 AM

Carolona Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is not expected to be moved at the trade deadline, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Despite some speculation regarding Hubbard's role after head coach Dave Canales indicated that they will ride the hot hand with Rico Dowdle moving forward, the 26-year-old is expected to remain with the team through the trade deadline. It's been a disappointing season for Hubbard after a career year last season, when he rushed for 1,195 yards and 10 touchdowns on 250 carries. He's been unable to replicate that sort of efficiency in 2025, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry on 79 carries in the six games he's started. With Dowdle expected to take the bulk of the work now, Hubbard is likely best left on the bench for their Week 9 matchup against the Packers.
