2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hubbard's 2024 season was a triumph and a standard-setting moment for a team trying to find its way back to the surface. His cultural impact on the Panthers is no doubt part of why they signed the former fourth-round pick to a four-year, $33.2 million extension in November, and coach Dave Canales has repeatedly gone out of his way to identify Hubbard as the golden example of the kind of player the Panthers want to build around. Carolina signed Hubbard to the extension even before rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks re-tore his ACL in December, so Canales clearly had Hubbard in mind as a foundational piece regardless of Brooks' status. With that said, Hubbard is probably not much better than average relative to other starting running backs, and though he has seemingly earned Canales' trust as a pass blocker, Hubbard does not have a history of standout pass-catching production. Even if he has a good career from this point forward, there's a chance 2024 could go down as a career year. That would be particularly true if free-agent pickup Rico Dowdle steals more playing time than 2024 backup Miles Sanders did previously. The Panthers don't figure to be particularly good and likely will face catch-up scripts regularly, so it could be hard on Hubbard's margins if Dowdle poaches any reps early in games.

Nabs late TD in loss
Hubbard carried the ball 16 times for 57 yards and caught three of five targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old RB scored the Panthers' only TD late in the fourth quarter, catching the ball in the flat and sprinting down the sideline for a 27-yard score. Hubbard is coming off a career-best 2024 campaign in which he amassed 1,366 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns, and the offseason addition of Rico Dowdle to the backfield doesn't appear to have impacted his role or touch volume. Hubbard will look to stay productive on the road Week 2 against the Cardinals.

Hubbard did the improbable and sent Miles Sanders to the bench last year even after Carolina gave the former Eagle a four-year, $25.4 million contract. Hubbard didn't exactly set the league on fire, averaging 3.8 yards per carry, but he was mostly impressive when you factor in how bad the Panthers offense was. Even with his 2023 accomplishments noted, Hubbard's fantasy value took a major hit when the Panthers made Jonathon Brooks (knee) the first running back selected in the 2024 Draft. The Panthers took Brooks at No. 46 overall with the intention of making him their starting running back at some point, though not necessarily right away as he completes his rehab from an ACL tear suffered in November. While solid as a runner, Hubbard is particularly vulnerable to Brooks on passing downs. Hubbard has improved his pass catching considerably since dropping seven of 37 targets as a rookie, but it's still a relative weakness for him and a strength for the incoming rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Most underrated RB in NFL?
Aaron Schatz of ESPN.com labels Hubbard as the most underrated player at the running back position going into the 2025 season.
ANALYSIS
In highlighting one underappreciated talent at each position, Schatz makes a case for Hubbard based on his 2024 exploits while playing for a losing squad. Hubbard finished with 1,195 rushing yards and 11 total touchdowns while also recording a career-high 43 receptions across 15 regular-season games. Moreover, Hubbard ranked No. 4 among qualifying running backs last season with 1.1 rushing yards over expectation per carry per NFL Next Gen Stats, and despite the addition of Rico Dowdle and the drafting of Trevor Etienne this offseason, Schatz expects Hubbard to maintain a hold of the lead role.
