Risk & Opportunity Analysis (4 flags)

Target Competition
Jonathon Brooks is ticketed for a real committee role rather than pure handcuff duty to open the season, and the Panthers' caution with Brooks' own injury history caps how much volume Hubbard can bank on.
Injury Concerns
A hamstring strain suffered in August 2026 camp kept Hubbard out of preseason action; soft-tissue recurrence risk is worth monitoring for a veteran back carrying a heavy workload.

Coaching Confidence
Hubbard was named one of five Panthers team captains for 2026 and public coaching comments frame him as the clear first option over Brooks, signaling job security atop the depth chart.
Usage & Volume
Target share, snap share, and carry share all climbed across the final four games of 2025, cresting near a lead-back snap rate in the Wild Card round, which points to an expanding receiving role that lifts his PPR floor.
