Hubbard's 2025 collapse and inefficiency make him a clear fade; Brooks could lead backfield.

Derek Brown is avoiding Chuba Hubbard in 2026 drafts after his collapse from a big 2024 breakout season. Hubbard fell to RB40 in fantasy points per game in 2025 despite dealing with a calf injury for part of the season. More concerning, he lost his starting job to Rico Dowdle during the season. Hubbard was arguably the most inefficient running back in the NFL last year: among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked dead last in missed tackle rate and explosive run rate (zero explosive runs) while sitting 47th in yards after contact per attempt. With Jonathon Brooks fully healthy, he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp, further diminishing Hubbard's role.
