Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Wan'Dale Robinson

Saturday, November 15, 12:48 AM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has become firmly entrenched in the backup role following Rico Dowdle's early-season breakout. Hubbard missed Weeks 5 and 6 due to injury, leaving Dowdle with the perfect opportunity to break out. The veteran capitalized on the opportunity, seized the lead-back role, and never looked back. As a result, Hubbard's role declined when he returned from injury, and his involvement took another step back two weeks ago. He has played fewer than 23 percent of the offensive snaps in each of his last two games, totaling just eight carries and one reception during that span. Despite signing an extension last winter, Hubbard is now a mere handcuff option behind Dowdle, a potential league-winner.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has emerged as the clear focal point of the passing attack and projects as a strong fantasy start in the Week 10 road game versus the Chicago Bears. Robinson is enjoying the best season of his career, currently ranking as the 21st fantasy WR while commanding a high volume, as evidenced by his team-leading 11 targets in Week 9. His high usage, coupled with a solid 9.97 fantasy points per game, sets him up for success against the Chicago defense, which ranks 30th against fantasy WRs, surrendering a generous 38.63 points per contest. The Bears' propensity to allow points (28.4 per game, 29th in NFL) and passing touchdowns (20 allowed) makes Robinson a high-floor, high-ceiling option this week.
