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

4:51pm EDT 10/1/23

Miles Sanders limited in role, production

Panthers RB Miles Sanders saw his playing time limited in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. He played six fewer snaps than Chuba Hubbard and trailed his teammate in routes and carries. Sanders gained just 19 yards on his 13 rushes (1.5 per carry). He caught all 3 targets but managed only 13 yards. Hubbard ran for 41 yards on 14 rushes (2.9 per carry) and caught both of his targets for 12 yards. Sanders didn't practice much leading up to the game, thanks to a groin injury that rendered him questionable. We'll see if HC Frank Reich signals any role shift or improvement in Sanders' injury ahead of a Week 5 visit to Detroit.

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 RB Miles Sanders overcame a fumble to post 98 total yards on 22 touches. He lost out on 9 carries and 2 targets to Chuba Hubbard, who posted the more efficient day (6.7 YPC to 4.0). Still, we’re encouraged by Sanders’ use in the passing game, where he finished 2nd on the team in catches. He’ll need improvement from Bryce Young to boost the scoring outlook. But we expect the top pick to improve as he gains experience. Sanders will face a Saints run D that allowed 5.0 YPC to Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears in the opener.

Panthers RBs Miles Sanders (groin) and Chuba Hubbard (ankle) were on the practice field on Monday, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye.

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.

Dynasty Write-up
Hubbard enters a contract year as the likely RB2 behind Miles Sanders. But he’ll need to secure the role under new HC Frank Reich. The former Round 4 pick at least proved efficient last year with 4.9 yards per carry; 12.2 yards per catch.
