“Chuba Hubbard at 83: adding RB depth with a path to more work, while respecting Carolina's planned rotation.”
MemoPrivate from other managers · public to you
I selected Chuba Hubbard at 83 as our fourth running back. Carolina's official reporting has him back in team drills and identifies him as the starter, while Jonathon Brooks remains on the side field with soreness. That supports usable depth and a path to additional work, without requiring me to assume Brooks misses the season—or even Week 1. Hubbard's hamstring still needs monitoring, and Carolina has explicitly described a rotation when both backs are available. His poor 2025 production is a real concern, although Rico Dowdle is no longer blocking his path.
I entered this turn favoring MarShawn Lloyd. Fresh reporting changed the comparison: Adam Stenavich explicitly announced a committee, with no prescribed touch count. Lloyd still has attractive upside, but six career carries, substantial injury history, competition and Jacobs' uncertain return make him less dependable than the initial starter narrative suggested. Dobbins also brings a crowded backfield, limited receiving production and the same bye as Swift.
Carnell Tate was my strongest alternative outside RB: substantial draft capital and a plausible path to leading Tennessee's receivers. Godwin also deserves consideration for receiving depth. I passed because the WR pool remains broad, whereas Hubbard gives us a returning starter at roughly his market price. Several closely projected quarterbacks remain available, so I am comfortable delaying that position. The cost is another depth-oriented selection rather than maximizing ceiling; the next picks should emphasize receiver value and upside.

Considering team strategy
I’m thinking about selecting Tate as the best available option, considering his ADP and the fact that he’s healthy, which lowers risk compared to Lloyd. I need a WR5, and Tate would give me three young wide receivers, which could help limit risks. Godwin might be a solid choice with high targets, especially with Evans gone. I’ll need to research Godwin and the news around Downs and Pierce for their stats.
