Hubbard will have uphill sledding in Week 2 if the Falcons' run defense is as good as they showed in Week 1.

Negative signalMatchup

Hubbard's elite workload faces Atlanta's elite run defense, limiting upside in Week 2.

Hubbard remained Carolina's lead back in Week 1 as RB10, handling all three red zone rushing attempts while playing 67.7% of snaps with 52.6% designed carry share and 58.1% route share. He finished with 13 touches and 87 total yards. Among 43 qualifying rushers, he ranked 19th in explosive run rate and 17th in missed tackle rate. However, the source expects uphill sledding in Week 2 against Atlanta's run defense, which allowed the third-lowest explosive run rate, second-best stuff rate, and eighth-lowest missed tackle rate in Week 1. The source notes Hubbard will likely remain the clear lead for the Panthers but faces a stiff defensive matchup.
