Chuba Hubbard News
Thursday, March 26, 6:10 AM
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was one of the breakout success stories of the 2024 season, recording 1,366 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns on 293 touches across 15 games. However, Hubbard missed time early in the 2025 season with a calf injury and had his starting job usurped by fellow back Rico Dowdle. Hubbard finished the year with just 734 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 164 touches across 15 games played. Still, Hubbard may have a chance to reclaim the RB1 role in Carolina in 2026, as Dowdle recently departed the Panthers for the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. Barring any further backfield additions, Hubbard's main competition in Carolina appears to be Jonathan Brooks and Trevor Etienne, who have combined for 29 career carries so far in their NFL careers. If Hubbard finds his way back to the usage he saw in 2024, he could easily re-emerge as a viable fantasy running back in 2026.

De'Von Achane News
Wednesday, March 18, 7:08 AM
NFL teams that have recently called the Miami Dolphins to inquire about trading for running back De'Von Achane have been told that he is "not available," sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Under new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, the Dolphins have traded or released most of the veteran core, but Achane, who is entering the final season of his four-year rookie deal, is part of the team's plan going forward. The Dolphins traded star receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday and also sent veteran defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets earlier this month. Achane averaged a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry and rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, making him the RB6 in half-PPR scoring. He also caught 67 passes for 488 yards and four touchdowns. He's a dynamic threat out of the backfield, and while his volume will remain plentiful, Achane's fantasy stock takes a hit now that he's the only trustworthy option on offense right now in Miami.
