Will Chuba Hubbard start for the Carolina Panthers when he returns? Andy Smith breaks down the Chuba Hubbard return timeline and fantasy football outlook.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard stands out as the Panthers' clear RB1 despite the team also bringing in veteran Rico Dowdle from the Dallas Cowboys.

In the first four games of the young season, Hubbard dominated the backfield, receiving 13.3 attempts per game with 4.3 targets per game. However, before Week 5, Hubbard would suffer an ACL injury, which paved the way for Dowdle to take over RB1 duties.
