Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Saturday, December 13, 12:14 PM

Chuba Hubbard delivered his best performance of the season in Week 13 against the Rams before going on bye. In that game, Hubbard totaled 83 rushing yards on 17 carries and 41 receiving yards on two receptions. The Carolina RB finished the game with 20.4 PPR points, marking the first time this year he registered over 20 PPR points. Hubbard and Rico Dowdle nearly split the workload in this game, with Hubbard seeing more of the snaps (59%) for the first time since Dowdle was named the starting RB in Week 9. Head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Hubbard would be the preferred back for third-down situations. Carolina faces the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. New Orleans ranks 18th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs this season. In Week 10 against New Orleans, Hubbard finished with only 14 rushing yards on three carries and posted 2.5 PPR points. With a decent matchup and increased volume, Hubbard has fantasy appeal as a flex option in deeper leagues.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. did it all on Sunday in his team's 29-21 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 15. Tracy suffered what looked like a serious hip injury in the Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots, but he had the Week 14 bye to recover, and he quickly proved this weekend that he's still New York's lead back when healthy. The 26-year-old had a team-high 15 carries for 70 yards (4.7 yards per carry) and a touchdown while adding three catches on three targets for 27 yards and another score. Backfield mate Devin Singletary had only six touches for 14 scrimmage yards. Tracy rewarded fantasy managers who were bold enough to start him this week with his first trips to the end zone since Week 7. Going into a Week 16 matchup against the Vikings, Tracy will profile as an RB2 in the fantasy semifinals as the Giants' clear RB1.
