Running Back · Carolina Panthers · Age 27 · Oklahoma State · RB8 PPR (Week 4 2026)
Chuba Hubbard is ranked RB8 (overall #8) for the Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
Including the NFL Playoffs last year, Hubbard has a 4-game streak of 12.6+ expected and actual fantasy points. He's finished as a top-12 fantasy RB in all 3 games this season with Jonathon Brooks (groin) missing time, and he's been quite effective on a down-to-down basis. The Panthers lost a ton of valuable starters in last week's loss to the Browns, so the range of outcomes has narrowed a bit, but Hubbard simply can't leave the game without 15-25 opportunities given the state of their skill group depth right now. He's the RB9 on RB15 usage to date, which is eerily similar to his 2024 finish of RB12 on RB7 usage. Keep starting with confidence. The Panthers won't have star LG Damien Lewis (elbow) this week, and their defense is in tough shape with other injuries at the worst time. The Lions should post their typical 27+ points, so Hubbard could be in more negative script this week than he was in earlier games. That's okay for him. He had 4 receptions in last week's loss, and AJ Dillon won't mix in while trailing. Ultimately, the Panthers project for 24.0 points against the Lions' vulnerable defense, so it's hard to not call this matchup a decent one.
