Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Cameron Ward

Saturday, December 13, 12:14 PM

Chuba Hubbard delivered his best performance of the season in Week 13 against the Rams before going on bye. In that game, Hubbard totaled 83 rushing yards on 17 carries and 41 receiving yards on two receptions. The Carolina RB finished the game with 20.4 PPR points, marking the first time this year he registered over 20 PPR points. Hubbard and Rico Dowdle nearly split the workload in this game, with Hubbard seeing more of the snaps (59%) for the first time since Dowdle was named the starting RB in Week 9. Head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Hubbard would be the preferred back for third-down situations. Carolina faces the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. New Orleans ranks 18th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs this season. In Week 10 against New Orleans, Hubbard finished with only 14 rushing yards on three carries and posted 2.5 PPR points. With a decent matchup and increased volume, Hubbard has fantasy appeal as a flex option in deeper leagues.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward remains off the fantasy radar heading into Sunday's Week 15 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Ward has been very disappointing in his first pro season after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Miami product has 10 touchdowns and 13 touchdowns this season with a poor 59.1% completion rate. He also ranks as just the QB27 in fantasy leagues this year despite playing every offensive snap through 13 games. On a promising note, Ward has scored two touchdowns in two of his last three games. However, he's still struggling to accrue yardage, and the completion rate and turnover problems persist. Ward ranks as the overall QB30 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and can be benched in all fantasy leagues.
