Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Chig Okonkwo

Saturday, November 22, 7:17 PM

Last week, Chuba Hubbard played on 19% of the snaps, logged 21 rushing yards on four carries, and caught one pass for seven yards as he continued to operate as a backup RB. Since his return from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has registered 117 rushing yards and is averaging 5.0 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. The fifth-year RB should only be rostered as a handcuff for Rico Dowdle. He will only be a fantasy asset if Dowdle misses time. At this point of the season, if you roster Hubbard and not Dowdle, you can simply cut the Panthers' backup RB.

Through 10 games this season, Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) has recorded 32 catches for 337 yards on 42 targets. Okonkwo was limited in practice by a foot injury this week, but he is off the injury report and will be active for Tennessee's Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Titans will be without wide receivers Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (leg) against Seattle, which could open up more target opportunities for Okonkwo. However, Okonkwo has failed to play more than 68% of his team's offensive snaps in any game since Week 4 as he splits reps with rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, limiting the upside for both players. Additionally, the Seahawks have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL. Through 11 weeks, Seattle is allowing the third-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.2) in the league. Even with the potential for an increased target share, Okonkwo remains tough for fantasy managers to trust as a starting tight end option in Week 12.
