Chuba Hubbard stays hot
Chuba Hubbard leads all running backs with a 67.6% success rate this season. That shows he’s been efficient as a runner and has helped the Panthers consistently move the ball down the field. Runs with Hubbard have been some of the most effective plays in Dave Canales’ offense so far in 2024. Canales has said since he was hired as the head man in Carolina that he was “going to show you how stubborn he can be with the run game,” and Hubbard has given him no reason to turn down those calls.
The fourth-year pro has played so well, there’s almost no shot rookie running back Jonathon Brooks will walk into a featured role when he’s healthy and more importantly, there’s no reason to rush him back. Hubbard gets a nice matchup in what should be a high-scoring game with a Falcons defense that ranks 30th in rushing success rate allowed. — Matt Harmon
Dontayvion Wicks finally delivers
Wicks was a popular waiver add last week who many fantasy managers started. Christian Watson was out, and Romeo Doubs was suspended one game by the Packers. It was the perfect setup for Wicks to have a big day … but he didn’t.
Wicks posted just two catches for 20 yards on seven targets. Once again, he had two drops in this game and was just missed by Jordan Love deep on two more targets. The box score looks bad, but we were a few inches away from a big day here. Most importantly, Wicks was open often in this game.
The drops must stop, but assuming they do, we have a strong matchup for Wicks again in Week 6. He’ll face the Cardinals who allow the fifth-most receiving yards per play this season. Start Wicks in Week 6. — Sal Vetri
