Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Breece Hall

Wednesday, December 3, 2:24 PM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard had the most touches and his highest snap share (59.4%) in a game since Week 8 in the team's Week 13 win over the Los Angeles Rams, totaling 17 carries for 83 yards while adding two receptions (two targets) for 41 yards and a touchdown. Head coach Dave Canales has found the right balance between Rico Dowdle and Hubbard, using Hubbard as the third-down back while leaning on Dowdle for early downs. "We've been using Chuba primarily as our third-down back, and then he gets series as we go," said Canales. The head coach added that, especially with how good Hubbard has looked in the past few weeks, they are "making sure that he's a weapon for us in different ways." Hubbard should continue to be a big factor for the Panthers down the stretch and is firmly back on fantasy radars. The 26-year-old projects as a viable flex option when Carolina comes out of their Week 14 bye to face the division-rival New Orleans Saints.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is slated for another superb matchup in Week 14 when his team squares off with the visiting Miami Dolphins. Hall hasn't been the most efficient of rushers since New York's Week 9 bye (3.61 yards per carry [70 rushes]). However, he's the PPR RB14 over that stretch in terms of points per game (14.4). He'll get a dream outing against a porous Dolphins' rush defense this weekend that's afforded opposing ground games the fourth-most yards per contest (137.5). Hall's involvement in the passing attack took a step back in Week 13, but he should see more work there on Sunday, as the Dolphins give up a good amount of receptions to RBs (57). The Iowa State alum ranks as RotoBaller's RB9 in PPR formats ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
