Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Puka Nacua

Monday, September 8, 3:35 AM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard caught the team's lone touchdown in a 23-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. With just under five minutes left in the game, quarterback Bryce Young hit Hubbard in the flat, and after evading a shoestring tackle, he was able to race up the sideline unchallenged for the 27-yard score. Hubbard had an otherwise unremarkable game, logging 16 carries for 57 rushing yards and turning five targets into three receptions for 32 yards and the trip to the end zone. The one positive is Hubbard's dominance of the Panthers' backfield duties. Rico Dowdle saw only three carries, and Hubbard outsnapped his new understudy at a 2-to-1 clip. Hubbard and the Panthers will take to the road to face the Cardinals in Week 2.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua led the Rams with 10 catches on 11 targets for 130 yards in his team's 14-9 win over the Houston Texans in Week 1. Nacua had an injury scare when a blow to the helmet left his face bloodied and forced him to leave the game, but he was able to return after receiving stitches and passing concussion tests. The 24-year-old led Los Angeles in targets in his first game sharing the field with veteran wide receiver Davante Adams, who had four catches for 51 yards on eight targets. Nacua looked every bit the part of a dominant fantasy WR1 in Week 1. He'll have an easier matchup next week against the Tennessee Titans.
