Bottom Line

Hubbard has given us little to get excited about.

If you’re into a handcuff RB with a low ceiling, then he’s available. But you can almost definitely find better.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Hubbard sports very limited upside. He indicated as much with a lackluster rookie season, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and 7.0 per catch when pressed into expanded duty by Christian McCaffrey injuries. That Panthers team even acquired Ameer Abdullah in-season to shift primary backfield receiving work away from Hubbard.
  • Hubbard’s efficiency improved in Year 2: 4.9 yards per rush and 12.2 per catch. But the same Panthers staff limited his work further.
    • Hubbard averaged just 6.3 carries and 0.9 receptions per game for the season, despite the Panthers trading McCaffrey away after six games.
    • Even in his nine games without McCaffrey, Hubbard averaged just 9.9 carries and 1.4 receptions.
    • D’Onta Foreman beat Hubbard by 5.0 touches per game for the year. And Carolina liked him so much that it let him walk for a modest one-year deal with the Bears in free agency.
  • To be fair: Hubbard also improved his advanced metrics. Among 61 RBs with at least 70 carries:
    • He ranked 21st in Pro Football Focus rushing grade.
    • He tied for just 43rd in yards after contact per carry but did improve vs. 2021.
    • He tied for 38th in elusive rating, up from 47th in 2021.
  • The Panthers’ O-line performed well, ranking ninth in Football Outsiders’ adjusted line yards.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Carolina gave Miles Sanders the biggest contract of any RB who didn’t get the franchise tag. HC Frank Reich has since called him a three-down back.
  • That clearly positions Hubbard as no more than the clear No. 2, and likely well behind Sanders.
  • If the Panthers don’t add a veteran this offseason, that should still position Hubbard for handcuff upside in an offense that improved at QB and replaced its coaching staff with a much more experienced NFL head man.

Miles Sanders, RB CAR

1:00pm EDT 9/29/23

Miles Sanders questionable for Week 4

Panthers RB Miles Sanders (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. He went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday, which is obviously worrisome. But HC Frank Reich said Friday that he's "optimistic" that Sanders will be able to play this weekend. We'll look for further updates on the situation and get Carolina's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Chuba Hubbard would step in as Carolina's lead back if Sanders is out.

Panthers RBs Miles Sanders (groin) and Chuba Hubbard (ankle) were on the practice field on Monday, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. Sanders had been out since August 9, while Hubbard hurt his ankle in Friday night's preseason game. Both guys are on track to be ready for the start of the regular season.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard injured an ankle in Friday night's preseason game, HC Frank Reich said afterward. Hubbard started that game with RB Miles Sanders out with his groin injury. We'll see when these guys are able to get back on the field. Carolina's healthy RBs are now Raheem Blackshear, Spencer Brown, and rookie Camerun Peoples.

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.
