Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Rashid Shaheed

Saturday, December 21, 3:14 AM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard will look to churn his legs to production against a middling Arizona Cardinals front four in Week 16. Hubbard disappointed last week, to the chagrin of many managers, rushing for just 32 yards on 10 carries against the Dallas Cowboys. Carolina fell behind early and opted to initiate a pass-heavy attack, a trend that has contributed to Hubbard's recent struggles; he has failed to rush for 50 yards in two out of his last three outings. Still, for managers who have survived the hardships, he remains a top running back option in the waning weeks, with RotoBaller having him as RB10 for this Week 16 game.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Shaheed was placed on the injured reserve earlier on Thursday but now faces a four-to-six-month recovery, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season. This is a significant loss for the New Orleans passing attack, as Shaheed was enjoying a breakout campaign. Across the first six weeks, Shaheed eclipsed 15.0 PPR points four times and averaged 58.2 yards per game. Fantasy managers should expect Chris Olave to be the top option once he returns from his concussion. On Thursday evening against the Denver Broncos, Bub Means and Mason Tipton will likely operate as the top two pass catchers.
