Hubbard rushed the ball 13 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round loss to the Rams. He added two receptions on four targets for 13 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Hubbard worked as the clear lead back, out-touching Rico Dowdle 15-6. While he didn't break any explosive plays or work very efficiently, Hubbard did manage to punch in a pair of scores from one and three yards, respectively. He will be a difficult player to assess for 2026, as he worked behind Dowdle for much of the 2025 campaign. However, he regained a more significant role in the offense late in the season, while Dowdle is set to become a free agent.

Hubbard rushed five times for 10 yards and secured both targets for seven yards in the Panthers' 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hubbard's day was as unproductive as his line suggests, although backfield mate Rico Dowdle fared even worse on the ground (1.4 yards per carry). Hubbard's production saw a significant downturn in 2025 compared to the last two seasons, as a two-game absence in Weeks 5-6 opened the door for Dowdle to take over the lead-back role for an extended period. Hubbard finishes the regular season with 511 rushing yards (3.8 yards per carry) and one touchdown while adding a 30-223-3 receiving line across 15 games, and he'll remain in a timeshare with Dowdle in the wild-card round if the Panthers qualify for the postseason via a Falcons win over the Saints on Sunday.

Hubbard carried the ball four times for 12 yards and caught all three of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers' offense couldn't get anything going Sunday until it was too late, and Hubbard wound up with his lowest scrimmage yards total since Week 10, when the Saints held him to just 15 yards. Hubbard hasn't seen double-digit touches in three straight games since Carolina's bye while Rico Dowdle fills the No. 1 role in the backfield, but he may need to step up in Week 18 against the Buccaneers with the NFC South, and a playoff spot, on the line.

Hubbard rushed six times for 27 yards and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hubbard logged three fewer carries than Rico Dowdle but gained just two less rushing yards, although neither back made a significant impact fantasy-wise. Hubbard surprisingly broke out for an 83-yard showing on the ground against the Chargers three games ago, but otherwise, he's been capped overall by having to share time with Dowdle. The duo will likely continue working in a close timeshare during a Week 17 home matchup against a tough Seahawks defense.

Hubbard rushed the ball eight times for 29 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He added one reception on one target for nine yards.

EDGE Analysis

Hubbard looked to be regaining momentum in the Carolina backfield, but he operated as a clear secondary option to Rico Dowdle in Sunday's loss. Hubbard managed only nine touches compared to 17 for Dowdle, and he's now been held below 50 yards from scrimmage in six of the Panthers' last seven games.

Hubbard carried the ball 17 times for a team-high 83 yards and caught both his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

The fifth-year running back topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time all season and got into the end zone for the first time since Week 8. He turned a screen pass into a 35-yard TD in the first quarter for Carolina's first points of the afternoon. Hubbard's touch volume also tied his season high, and with Rico Dowdle (58 rushing yards on 18 carries) struggling to make an impact in recent weeks, the workload split in the Panthers backfield may be tipping back in Hubbard's favor. The team will be on bye next week, so clarity in the pecking order likely won't come until a Week 15 clash with the Saints.

Hubbard rushed three times for 16 yards and secured all four targets for 27 yards in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

EDGE Analysis

Hubbard saw half the amount of carries of backfield mate Rico Dowdle, remaining in a clear No. 2 role behind the latter. Hubbard did draw even with Dowdle in receptions and targets due to a game script that saw the Panthers have to rely heavily on the pass as the game went on. Hubbard should handle a similar workload in a Week 13 home matchup against the Rams on Sunday.

Hubbard rushed four times for 21 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has now received just 10 total touches in the Panthers' last two games, cementing his No. 2 slotting behind Rico Dowdle, who tallied 100 total yards on 24 touches in Sunday's win. Since Dowdle took over as Carolina's No. 1 option in the Week 9 win over the Packers, Hubbard has managed just 52 rushing yards on 12 attempts. He's expected to continue operating in a reserve role in the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Hubbard carried the ball three times for 14 yards and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

The touch and yardage totals were season lows for Hubbard, as he continues to see a massively reduced role with Rico Dowdle getting a look as the clear top option in the Carolina backfield. Hubbard might need an injury to Dowdle to have real fantasy relevance again, as he's managed only 32 scrimmage yards total over the last two games. Hubbard may not need a lot of touches to make a splash in Week 11 against a Falcons defense that just got torched by Jonathan Taylor for 244 rushing yards and three TDs.

Hubbard carried the ball five times for 17 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Rico Dowdle took over as the No. 1 back for Carolina rather than working in a timeshare with Hubbard, and he turned 25 totes into 130 rushing yards and two TDs. It's the first time Hubbard has failed to get double-digit carries in a game when healthy since Week 1 of 2024, but it likely won't be the last as Dowdle continues to build job security in the starting role. Hubbard's best chance of making an impact in Week 10 might be if the Panthers can build a big lead at home against the Saints, offering the potential for some garbage-time touches.
