Trends

"Hubbard signed a contract extension with Carolina last season, which locked him in as the team's lead back for the near future. The 2021 fourth-round pick has amassed 275-plus touches in each of the past two seasons and, despite missing two games in 2024, he finished in the top 15 among RBs in carries, targets, touches, yards, touchdowns and fantasy points. He ran well (4.8 YPC) and was busy near the goal line (he ranked fifth with 17 carries inside the 5-yard line), but he struggled as a receiver (RB-worst 3.2 YPT). With Jonathon Brooks (ACL) out for the entire 2025 season, Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne are Hubbard's primary competition for touches. The 26-year-old makes for a solid RB2 target."

"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."

"Conklin signed with the Chargers after spending the first seven years of his career with the Vikings and Jets. The veteran tight end has finished top 10 among tight ends in pass routes each of the last four seasons, though that hasn't allowed much fantasy production. He finished either exactly 16th or 18th in fantasy points all four years and was in the 18th-to-23rd range on a per-game basis each year. Conklin has proven reliable (he's missed two games in his career) but he's not targeted quite enough, nor does he score enough touchdowns (11 in seven seasons) to allow starter-level production in fantasy. Conklin may lead the Chargers' TE room in targets, but with Will Dissly also in the mix, he's no more than a fringe TE2."

"Conklin will be a healthy scratch for a third straight game. It seems like the tight end's time as a regular starter for the team is over, with rookie Oronde Gadsden taking over as the No. 1 and Will Dissly handling the remaining workload."
