        Chuba Hubbard RB CAR
        10:38pm UTC 10/19/25

        Chuba Hubbard Returns, Out-Snaps Rico Dowdle In Win

        Chuba Hubbard Returns, Out-Snaps Rico Dowdle In Win

        After missing two games with a calf injury, Chuba Hubbard returned as Carolina's starting RB in the team's 13-6 win over the Jets. Hubbard and Rico Dowdle, who accounted for 473 scrimmage yards and 2 TDs while Hubbard was sidelined, rotated drives throughout the game. They combined to rush 31 times for 110 yards.

        Panthers RBs Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard are expected to "trade series" early in today's game vs. the Jets, "with the flexibility to change based on flow of the game," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Gives Panthers offense the chance to adjust and keep both players fresh," Fowler adds. It sounds like this could be a hot-hand situation, making it tough to project. Dowdle seems likelier to get the hot hand considering his barrage the past two games and is the better Week 7 fantasy bet. But consider him more of a low-end RB2 than the elite RB1 he's been the last two weeks. Hubbard is a RB3 or Flex consideration.

        Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf) will play against the Jets this weekend, HC Dave Canales said Friday. Hubbard practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so it seems like that calf issue is behind him. The question now is how work will be divvied between he and RB Rico Dowdle. Hubbard operated as the clear lead back over the first four games of the season, but Dowdle racked up a whopping 473 total yards with Hubbard out the last two weeks. It's tough to put that back in the bottle. We're tentatively expecting Dowdle to lead a committee attack vs. the Jets but will look for more updates on Carolina's plans.
