Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Chuba Hubbard

Friday, September 12, 6:06 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans didn't have a great season opener, but was still able to contribute in the win. Evans hauled in five of his eight targets for 51 yards in the victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout finished with the team-high in receptions and targets. However, Evans saw his fantasy value take a dip with Emeka Egubka and Bucky Irving catching the three touchdowns. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as Evans is one of the most consistent wideouts in the league. He should get the benefit of the doubt and remain on the WR1 radar for the upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans.

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.
