Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Chase Brown

Friday, November 13, 3:11 PM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard came back down to Earth in Week 9 but still had a respectable RB14 finish after being the RB8 in Week 8. Hubbard's Week 9 finish is his second-worst this year, only beating out his Week 7 performance when he amounted to 11 touches, a complete blowout in which backfield mate Trevor Etienne handled his highest touch count of the year. Clearly, Hubbard has been off to a blazing start this year, and continues to be a reliable fantasy option, scoring 11.6 or more half-PPR points in seven of his eight games so far. He has made a difference both on the ground and through the air, with 15 receptions over the last three games. Hubbard should uphold his stellar reputation in Week 10, when the Panthers face off against a Saints defense that has been susceptible to the run, allowing 133.9 rushing yards per game, the fourth most in the league. Although they haven't given up any rushing touchdowns in the past two weeks, opposing offenses have scored 11 touchdowns on the ground against them this year. Hubbard is a must-start running back as RotoBaller's RB6.
