Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Jalen Hurts

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) will return to the field for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets. Hubbard is expected to be back in the mix after missing each of the last two games. During that time, Rico Dowdle went off for over 400 scrimmage yards with two touchdowns. Now, it's unclear if Hubbard will return to his job as the lead back in Carolina. The expectation is that the two of them will have a closer split in the backfield. It wouldn't be shocking for each back to get around 10 carries this weekend. That being said, Hubbard is probably only worth a look as a flex option for Week 7.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts now has multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games, scoring both on the ground and through the air last Thursday against the Giants. In Week 7 Hurts has a tougher challenge with a Vikings team sporting the second-best pass defense in the league, allowing just 157.6 yards per game. Philly is hungry for a victory after suffering back-to-back losses, so expect their offense to be full throttle. Plus, the chemistry between Hurts and his lead receiver A.J. Brown seems to have been mostly restored. Despite a daunting matchup, Hurts is still worthy of a solid QB1 slot.
