Worked as the clear lead back over Jonathon Brooks in snaps (69% vs. 19%), carries (10 vs. 4), and targets (3 vs. 2) in Week 1, though Brooks was banged up with soreness. It will be very interesting to see if Hubbard holds onto this lead or if Brooks slowly turns this into a 50/50 situation. For now, Hubbard is treated as a borderline RB2, and the matchup against a Falcons front seven that is banged up/suspended is very winnable.

Three gold opportunities in Week 1: two red-zone targets and a goal-line attempt, resulting in two touchdowns. With 71% of RB touches, Hubbard holds the workload stability needed to remain a weekly play as long as he holds off Jonathon Brooks. Before his injury last season, Hubbard began 2025 with nearly 20 touches per game over the first few weeks, and the source trusts the stability of his volume going into Week 2 as a central role of the red-zone offense.

Hubbard was the overwhelming No. 1 RB for the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, finishing with 87 total yards and two touchdowns despite the team's 59-37 loss to Chicago. He played 43 of 55 snaps (78%) and received the majority of high-value touches in the passing game and at the goal line. The source indicates Jonathon Brooks, a popular high-upside sleeper, has not yet carved out a significant role, positioning Hubbard as the top back in Carolina. With favorable matchups against Atlanta and Cleveland over the next two weeks, Hubbard should continue to reward fantasy managers who drafted him at value.

Hubbard was another ADP steal who dominated the Panthers backfield in Week 1 despite preseason uncertainty about a committee approach. He recorded 10 carries, 8 receptions, 72 total yards, 1 touchdown, and 22.2 fantasy points—enough to finish in RB1 territory for the week. He led Jonathan Brooks in snaps 25-6 in the first half, establishing himself as the clear leader. The source rates him as a pretty safe RB2/3 option moving forward.
