Hubbard’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He strained a hamstring in training camp, when coach Dave Canales listed him week-to-week, but was ready for the Week 1 opener.
He totaled 87 scrimmage yards with a rushing and a receiving touchdown against Chicago in Week 1, then caught a touchdown against Atlanta in Week 2, per Panthers.com. Jonathon Brooks went on injured reserve after core-muscle surgery in September (FOX Sports).
Fantasy Action: Start Hubbard as a solid RB2 while Brooks is on IR; he handles Carolina’s early downs and gets receiving work. A veteran signing at running back would be the main threat to his volume.
