Chuba Hubbard rushes for 22 yards in preseason game Friday

Chuba Hubbard rushed for 22 yards on six carries while hauling in one catch for a four-yard loss in Friday’s 20-10 preseason loss to the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact: Hubbard was the most efficient rusher for Carolina Friday in a game where they played all of their backup offensive players. The 23-year-old likely has the backup RB slot locked down for the Panthers and he will likely see ample playing time this season should Christian McCaffrey go down with another injury. However, if CMC stays healthy, then Hubbard offers virtually zero fantasy value this season.
