However, Carolina has made some additions to its backfield this year. The Panthers signed former Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle, who carried the ball 235 times for over 1,000 yards and two touchdowns last season. He also proved reliable in the receiving game, catching 39 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns.
Carolina also drafted Trevor Etienne, who will likely play a big role as a receiving back out of the backfield as well. Given the rotation the Panthers now have at their disposal, the Panthers' offense could operate as a committee in 2025.
Is Chuba Hubbard a good pick in fantasy football this year?
If you're in a deep league with 10 or more people, Hubbard is certainly worth a mid to late draft pick for depth at the running back position. Despite likely being involved in a running back by committee offense in 2025, Hubbard is still a starter and a pass-catching threat out of the backfield.
Where should you draft Chuba Hubbard this year?
Hubbard's ADP in mock drafts is hovering between 44 and 52 across various platforms in PPR formats, according to Fantasy Pros. He is worth taking a chance on in the mid to late rounds of drafts for the 2025 season.
