Outlook Chuba Hubbard
Early-Season Workhorse Role Offers Massive Draft Value
Chuba Hubbard enters the season atop the Panthers' depth chart, positioned to handle the lion's share of early-season touches. While talented rookie Jonathon Brooks sits directly behind him, our models expect Hubbard to carry the load early on.
We project Hubbard for 189 rush attempts, 825 rushing yards, and five rushing touchdowns, alongside 33 receptions. Coming off a season where he remained highly involved in the passing game, his dual-threat ability secures a stable weekly floor.
Hubbard's ADP has stabilized around 71 in 1.0 PPR drafts, making him a solid mid-round target. This draft price represents excellent value compared to our projection of 175.6 fantasy points, as fantasy managers can draft him as a temporary RB2 who could easily outproduce his ADP if he retains a larger share of the backfield.

Outlook Kimani Vidal
Rising Draft Capital Clashes with Depth Chart Struggles and Trade Rumors
Kimani Vidal enters his third season facing stiff roster competition with the Chargers. He sits behind Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell on the depth chart, limiting his immediate path to volume. After posting a career-high 155 carries in 2025, his projected workload has scaled back. Our projections slate him for just 54 carries and 217 rushing yards as a depth piece.
Despite his depth chart placement and recent news highlighting him as a potential summer trade candidate, Vidal's fantasy draft stock has risen. His 1.0 PPR ADP climbed from 224 in early May to 188 in June. This climbing momentum shows fantasy managers are willing to take late-round flyers on his talent, hoping for a role change.
We project Vidal to finish with 53.5 fantasy points, making him a depth-dependent stash. At his current climbing cost, he is looking like an over-hyped market reach unless injuries strike above him on the roster.
