00:02 - Miles Sanders stinks.
00:04 The two games before he missed,
00:06 he was basically in a roughly 50/50 timeshare
00:09 with Chuba Hubbard.
00:10 Now, not saying Chuba Hubbard is the greatest running back
00:13 in the history of the National Football League.
00:15 I would say the kindest thing about Chuba Hubbard
00:17 is that he is mostly fine.
00:20 You know, he is a fine NFL running back.
00:23 And I would imagine that it is gonna continue
00:25 to be a 50/50 split for the rest of the year.
00:27 The reason why you would be interested in starting Hubbard
00:29 would be that he is the primary passing down back
00:32 for a team that has no wins.
00:34 We are heading into week eight, they have no wins.
00:37 Actually, weirdly enough, the game that he started,
00:40 the game against the Dolphins,
00:41 was his lowest target game of the year.
00:43 He'd had two or more targets in every game
00:45 up in that point against the Dolphins.
00:46 77% of the snaps, 19 rushes.
00:49 One target did get the lone goal line carry there
00:52 out of the backfield.
00:53 Yeah, I mean, again, no bye weeks.
00:56 Depending on your injury situation,
00:58 you probably don't wanna start him.
00:59 I have a team where I will be deciding
01:02 between Jalen Warren, Chuba Hubbard, and Kareem Hunt.
01:06 So all guys who are kind of in a timeshare,
01:08 unclear exactly what role they play in any given week.
01:11 I probably will start Hubbard there,
01:16 but it's pretty close.
01:17 And that is the range.
01:18 He's sort of like running back 30 to 35
01:21 is kind of the range that I would put him in.
01:23 So I'll say start.
01:26 I'll say start for Hubbard.
01:27 I'll say he catches four passes.
