Chuba Hubbard is worth lineup consideration against the Bills in Week 8. Buffalo's run defense surrendered 46.6 fantasy points against running backs in the last two weeks. The Bills allowed the most fantasy points per game to running backs of all NFL teams across that period. Hubbard will be part of a running back timeshare alongside Rico Dowdle, as head coach Dave Canales mentioned earlier in the week. The former fourth-round pick's snap count exceeded Dowdle's all season, including last week's game, where he played on 54% of snaps. Even though Hubbard played on more snaps, on the ground, Dowdle was the better runner with 79 rushing yards over Hubbard's 31 yards. As long as the game remains competitive, Hubbard will contribute to the running game in this matchup. Considering that six teams are on bye for Week 8, Hubbard is a low-end RB2 or Flex start.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains one of the few players from his team who can be relied on for fantasy football purposes. This week, he and the Dolphins are visiting the Falcons after taking a 31-6 beating last week in Cleveland. Achane still had a decent game in the loss, producing 82 rushing yards on 13 carries and adding three catches for 16 receiving yards. He didn't get into the end zone, but he still has six total touchdowns in his seven games this season. He'll look to get back into the end zone against the Falcons, who rank in the middle of the pack against running backs. They did give up two touchdowns to Christian McCaffrey last week, and Achane is very involved as both a rusher and receiver, giving him a high ceiling as this week's No. 5 RB in RotoBaller's rankings.
