Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman racked up 165 yards and a TD on 21 carries in Saturday's whipping of the Lions. RB Chuba Hubbard added 125 yards on 12 carries, and even RB Raheem Blackshear scored among his 3 carries. Carolina gets a rematch with Tampa Bay in week 17. Foreman and Hubbard combined for 181 yards on 24 carries in the 1st meeting. It'll still be tough to trust either member of this inconsistent backfield inside the top 24, but the upside is clear.
The Panthers totaled just 21 rushing yards on 16 carries (1.3 per rush) in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. RB D'Onta Foreman managed just 9 yards on 10 carries, with Chuba Hubbard rushing 4 times for 10 yards. Hubbard made up for it 57 yards on 3 receptions. A 45-yard catch-and-run powered that. Carolina RBs shouldn't factor heavily into your plans vs. Detroit or Tampa Bay the next 2 weeks.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman carried 21 times for 74 yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. He watched RBs Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear claim the team's 2 rushing scores, though. Carolina went run-heavy in a game that saw them score the 1st 17 points and never trail. Hubbard finished with a. 14-74-1 rushing line and led the backfield with 3 catches for 25 yards on 3 targets. Blackshear logged 4 carries for 32 yards and 1 catch for 17 yards (on 1 target). Foreman still led the group in playing time but loses some floor if half the work is going elsewhere. Unfortunately for the Panthers, no remaining matchup is nearly as good for RB scoring as Seattle was.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman (foot) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday to a full practice on Friday. So he should be ready for his usual workload on Sunday. Foreman has been a volatile fantasy producer since the Christian McCaffrey trade, but this is a plus matchup against Seattle's 29th-ranked RB defense.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman (foot) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He said Wednesday that he's "95%" sure he'll be able to play vs. the Seahawks this weekend. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman said Wednesday that he's 95% sure he'll play vs. the Seahawks this weekend. Foreman didn't practice on Wednesday, coming off the bye week. We'll see what he's able to do on Thursday.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He was able to battle through this injury back in Week 12, but it's concerning that he's not practicing coming off the bye. If Foreman isn't able to play vs. the Seahawks on Sunday, Chuba Hubbard would likely step in as Carolina's lead back.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman managed just 24 yards on 11 carries (2.2 per rush) in Sunday's 13-3 loss at Baltimore. There's no lopsided score to blame for taking work away from Foreman here, and Chuba Hubbard claimed the team's only other 4 RB rushes (for 0 yards). Next week brings another tough defense in a matchup with Denver. The Broncos have proved vulnerable at times against the run, but Carolina's general offensive struggles won't help. We'll see who lines up at QB for the Panthers in that one. Then comes a Week 13 bye.
As expected, Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is active for tonight's game vs. the Falcons. He was listed as questionable but put in full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, so he should be at least close to 100%. We're projecting D'Onta Foreman to lead Carolina's backfield tonight, but there's some uncertainty here considering we haven't seen a full game with Foreman and Hubbard together since the Christian McCaffrey trade.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) plans to play tonight against the Falcons, "barring surprise," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. We'd still bet on RB D'Onta Foreman leading the Carolina backfield in carries in this high-upside matchup.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. He put in full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, though, so we're expecting Hubbard to play. We'll get Carolina's inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. That should have him in line to return for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. Hubbard was playing ahead of RB D'Onta Foreman before going down in Week 7. We're projecting Foreman to lead the way against Atlanta, but there's some uncertainty to this backfield in Week 10.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but was sidelined on Friday.. With Hubbard out last week, RB D'Onta Foreman played 68% of Carolina's offensive snaps and exploded for 118 yards and 3 TDs on 26 carries. The matchup is much tougher on Sunday, but Foreman is a volume-based RB2 play in fantasy lineups.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to play vs. the Bengals this weekend, but we'll monitor his progress over the next few days. We'd expect Hubbard to return as Carolina's #2 RB after D'Onta Foreman's impressive Week 8.
With Chuba Hubbard (ankle) sidelined, Panthers RB D’Onta Foreman saw 26 carries for 118 yards and 3 TDs vs. Atlanta. He capitalized on the plus matchup to post the RB5 line for Week 8. While Foreman showed well as a hard-charging tackle-breaker, we expect Hubbard to return for Week 9 at Cincinnati. That’ll turn this backfield into more of a committee — and make both guys iffy FLEX options as road underdogs. Check back for updates on Hubbard’s health throughout the week.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He seems to be in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. That'd leave D'Onta Foreman as Carolina's clear lead back -- and a volume-based RB2 in fantasy lineups.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter said earlier this week that Hubbard could have returned to last week's game vs. the Bucs, so we're tentatively expecting him to play against the Falcons this weekend. But it'll be a different story if he's still sidelined on Thursday. Check back then for another update.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard left Sunday's game early with an ankle injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it was merely a "minor" sprain, though, and that Hubbard "could have come back in if needed." It sounds like we should expect Hubbard to be available for the Week 8 visit to Atlanta. We'll certainly be tracking his involvement this week.
