Chuba Hubbard is the clear lead back for the Carolina Panthers, dominating work with 13 touches and two touchdowns in Week 1. He is a weekly fantasy starter until further notice.NegativeRoleSep 9, 2026
Ranked 63rd in Week 1 FLEX rankings, one spot ahead of Jonathan Brooks. Expected to be the starting running back for the Panthers with Brooks as the passing-down back.

Mattek Fantasy Football identifies the critical Week 1 question for Chuba Hubbard against the Bears: whether he is the starter or if the backfield is a true 50/50 split with Jonathan Brooks.

Brooks' injury status (not practicing with soreness) adds uncertainty to the split.PositiveValueAug 28, 2026
