Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Chuba Hubbard

Friday, November 14, 5:26 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is not someone you should look to stream this week. Darnold has been on a tear of late. He has been lighting up opposing defenses left and right. Week 11 will present the toughest task of the season. Seattle will travel to Los Angeles to face an excellent Rams defense. The Rams are No. 9 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy this season. They have allowed some wide receivers to get loose, but quarterbacks have been stifled. Additionally, despite the excellent nature of both of these offenses, the real defining factor in this game will be each team's defense. As such, this could be a lower-scoring game than anticipated or desired. Darnold's overall passing volume could be much lower than usual. With that in mind, it is best to look elsewhere at quarterback this week. Darnold checks in as a mid-tier QB2. However, roster Darnold through this matchup because better days are ahead.

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.
