Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Jerome Ford

Thursday, November 12, 9:26 AM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (rest) was back at practice on Thursday after getting a rest day on Wednesday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Fantasy managers might have been a bit worried at first to see Hubbard not practicing on Wednesday, but he is not dealing with an injury and should be fine to continue his lead-back duties for the Panthers in a Week 10 divisional contest against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been an excellent value pick in fantasy this year, recording 619 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 134 carries (4.6 yards per attempt) while adding 26 receptions on 31 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns in the passing game in eight games played in 2026. He had 16 carries for 79 yards and caught all five of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Hubbard has had 100 scrimmage yards in four of the last six games, and although Jonathon Brooks (abdomen) is nearing a return from Injured Reserve this week, he should maintain RB1 duties through the rest of the season in Carolina. Continue to start him with confidence this week against the Saints. RotoBaller has Hubbard ranked as the No. 6 fantasy RB in Week 10.
