What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chuba Hubbard (CAR RB), our RB29 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 10.6 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 15% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The projection sits about 4% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
