Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Jaylen Wright

Wednesday, December 3, 2:24 PM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard had the most touches and his highest snap share (59.4%) in a game since Week 8 in the team's Week 13 win over the Los Angeles Rams, totaling 17 carries for 83 yards while adding two receptions (two targets) for 41 yards and a touchdown. Head coach Dave Canales has found the right balance between Rico Dowdle and Hubbard, using Hubbard as the third-down back while leaning on Dowdle for early downs. "We've been using Chuba primarily as our third-down back, and then he gets series as we go," said Canales. The head coach added that, especially with how good Hubbard has looked in the past few weeks, they are "making sure that he's a weapon for us in different ways." Hubbard should continue to be a big factor for the Panthers down the stretch and is firmly back on fantasy radars. The 26-year-old projects as a viable flex option when Carolina comes out of their Week 14 bye to face the division-rival New Orleans Saints.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had a career day in Week 14's 34-10 win over the New York Jets after De'Von Achane (ribs) exited early. Wright finished with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown while also seeing three targets but not hauling in any of them. The second-year back has only been active in six games this season, with 10 touches being his most in a game, which came back in the Week 8 blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. He's been firmly behind rookie Ollie Gordon II in the pecking order for touches, but Wright operated ahead of Gordon in this game after Achane left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Gordon also punched in a touchdown on seven carries. The severity of Achane's injury is currently unknown, but Wright would emerge as a priority waiver-wire addition if Achane were to miss any time.
