The Panthers’ backfield just got a whole lot more interesting, as “week to week” often means “month to month.” Chuba Hubbard’s injury opens the door for Jonathon Brooks, who is now primed to take over the Panthers’ starting RB role while Hubbard is sidelined. This is a massive opportunity for Brooks to prove he can handle a lead back workload.

For fantasy football, expect Hubbard’s ADP to slide while Brooks’ stock climbs. If Brooks looks explosive with the first team, he could quickly become one of the biggest late round risers of the draft season.
