Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He was able to battle through this injury back in Week 12, but it's concerning that he's not practicing coming off the bye. If Foreman isn't able to play vs. the Seahawks on Sunday, Chuba Hubbard would likely step in as Carolina's lead back.
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman managed just 24 yards on 11 carries (2.2 per rush) in Sunday's 13-3 loss at Baltimore. There's no lopsided score to blame for taking work away from Foreman here, and Chuba Hubbard claimed the team's only other 4 RB rushes (for 0 yards). Next week brings another tough defense in a matchup with Denver. The Broncos have proved vulnerable at times against the run, but Carolina's general offensive struggles won't help. We'll see who lines up at QB for the Panthers in that one. Then comes a Week 13 bye.
As expected, Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is active for tonight's game vs. the Falcons. He was listed as questionable but put in full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, so he should be at least close to 100%. We're projecting D'Onta Foreman to lead Carolina's backfield tonight, but there's some uncertainty here considering we haven't seen a full game with Foreman and Hubbard together since the Christian McCaffrey trade.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) plans to play tonight against the Falcons, "barring surprise," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. We'd still bet on RB D'Onta Foreman leading the Carolina backfield in carries in this high-upside matchup.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. He put in full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, though, so we're expecting Hubbard to play. We'll get Carolina's inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. That should have him in line to return for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. Hubbard was playing ahead of RB D'Onta Foreman before going down in Week 7. We're projecting Foreman to lead the way against Atlanta, but there's some uncertainty to this backfield in Week 10.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but was sidelined on Friday.. With Hubbard out last week, RB D'Onta Foreman played 68% of Carolina's offensive snaps and exploded for 118 yards and 3 TDs on 26 carries. The matchup is much tougher on Sunday, but Foreman is a volume-based RB2 play in fantasy lineups.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to play vs. the Bengals this weekend, but we'll monitor his progress over the next few days. We'd expect Hubbard to return as Carolina's #2 RB after D'Onta Foreman's impressive Week 8.
With Chuba Hubbard (ankle) sidelined, Panthers RB D’Onta Foreman saw 26 carries for 118 yards and 3 TDs vs. Atlanta. He capitalized on the plus matchup to post the RB5 line for Week 8. While Foreman showed well as a hard-charging tackle-breaker, we expect Hubbard to return for Week 9 at Cincinnati. That’ll turn this backfield into more of a committee — and make both guys iffy FLEX options as road underdogs. Check back for updates on Hubbard’s health throughout the week.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is out for this weekend's game vs. Atlanta. So much for that ankle injury being minor. We'll see if Hubbard can make it back for Week 9, but his absence on Sunday leaves D'Onta Foreman as Carolina's lead back. Interim HC Steve Wilks said Friday that undrafted rookie RB Raheem Blackshear will have an increased role this week, but we're expecting Foreman to handle most of the backfield work.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He seems to be in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. That'd leave D'Onta Foreman as Carolina's clear lead back -- and a volume-based RB2 in fantasy lineups.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter said earlier this week that Hubbard could have returned to last week's game vs. the Bucs, so we're tentatively expecting him to play against the Falcons this weekend. But it'll be a different story if he's still sidelined on Thursday. Check back then for another update.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard left Sunday's game early with an ankle injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it was merely a "minor" sprain, though, and that Hubbard "could have come back in if needed." It sounds like we should expect Hubbard to be available for the Week 8 visit to Atlanta. We'll certainly be tracking his involvement this week.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard sustained an ankle injury in Sunday's shocking win over the Bucs. He ripped off 63 yards and a score on 9 carries before exiting, adding another 10 yards on 2 grabs. We should get an update on the injury on Monday. Hubbard's absence would leave D'Onta Foreman as Carolina's clear lead back.
The Panthers are starting Chuba Hubbard in the backfield today, according to multiple reports. The Athletic's Joseph Person reports that HC Steve Wilks says the team will go with a committee, however, to replace Christian McCaffrey. We'd play Hubbard first but aren't excited about either Carolina RB.
RBs D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard are expected to compete for the lead job in Carolina's Christian McCaffrey-less backfield, according to the Associated Press' Josh Dubow. Dubow adds that RB Raheem Blackshear could be "potentially in the mix for more work." Foreman has carried 12 times for 37 yards (3.1 YPC) and failed to see a single target through 6 games. Hubbard has 6 carries for 34 yards (5.7 YPC) and 1 catch on 1 target for 1 yard. They've both played exactly 31 snaps, while Hubbard has a slight edge in pass routes (17 to 16). Our initial guess is that this will be something close to a 50/50 committee -- and we'll see about Blackshear. In the league's worst offense, Foreman and Hubbard will struggle for more than low-end RB3 value unless 1 of them emerges as the clear lead back.
The Panthers are trading RB Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's obviously a big upgrade in terms of supporting cast for McCaffrey. The 49ers rank 19th in points per game and 18th in yards per game, while the Panthers sit 27th in points per game and dead last in yards per game. San Francisco is also a balanced to run-leaning offense, so McCaffrey should see plenty of rushing volume. We do worry a bit about his target volume, though, in an offense that also features Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle. Overall, we'd consider this about a wash for the fantasy value of McCaffrey, who currently sits 4th among RBs in PPR points per game. We'll see if he'll play vs. the Chiefs this weekend. Carolina, meanwhile, is left with a backfield committee of D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard in a bad offense. We'll see exactly what that workload split looks like, but neither guy is an exciting fantasy option.
Update: Carolina will receive 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-round picks in 2023, plus a 5th-rounder in 2024, according to Schefter.
Update: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls McCaffrey "likely" to play vs. the Chiefs on Sunday and adds, "expect a red-zone package." We'll see what else we hear about McCaffrey's projected Week 7 role.
The Panthers are listening to trade offers for RB Christian McCaffrey, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. But "a deal might not be easy to complete" because the Panthers are prepared to keep McCaffrey for 2023 "if they don't receiver a suitable offer," Schefter adds. Carolina has reportedly already declined 2 offers for McCaffrey. We'd consider a trade unlikely to happen but will track the situation through the November 1 trade deadline. If McCaffrey was dealt, the Panthers would be left with RBs D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard.
Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey entered Sunday questionable with a thigh injury he had to test pregame. But he wound up with normal playing time and 17 of the 18 RB opportunities for Carolina in the loss to the Cardinals. McCaffrey managed only 27 yards on 8 rushes but caught all 9 of his targets for 81 yards and a TD. D'Onta Foreman got the only other RB touch: a 2-yard run. He played 4 snaps to Chuba Hubbard's 3.
