Yeah, my bold prediction is that the running back one on the week for week seven is going to be Panthers back, Chuba Hubbard.
Now, this guy since week two is second in fantasy points behind only Derek Henry and he's been one of the best real life running backs in the entire league.
Now, he's coming off kind of quietly his best work of the year.
82% of the snaps, 86% of the running back carries.
He's a clear RB one.
The usage is fantastic and now he gets a matchup against the commanders who allow the most explosive runs 10 plus yards this year.
While Chuba Hubba ranks top five in that category, they allow the fourth most rushing yards per play while Hubbard is averaging 5.6 yards per carry this year behind a very good interior line of this Panthers team that they invested heavily in this off season.
That guard play.
The guy looks great and the matchup looks good.
I'm saying Chuba Hubbard this week is the RV, one overall goes for over 100 and 50 yards and you might think that's the first time he's done it this year.
No, he's already hit that mark.
Chuba Hubbard's got to be in your lineup number one overall running back for week seven.
