Week 10: By the Numbers
The Running Backs
The Panthers Chuba Hubbard, with a new contract, looks to also cash in on Sunday with a favorable matchup against the G-men. The Panthers running back was rewarded for his sizzling play of late, fantasy RB12 since week 5, rushing for 369 yards on the ground (4.7/carry) with 4 rushing touchdowns. Over the past month (last 4 games) the Giants defense has allowed the 3rd most rushing yards (587) with a per carry average of 5.2 yards. Hubbard should be a safe start this week and a good bet to push north of 80-yards on the ground with a chance to punch one in.
Just missing the TD list, the Bears running back D’Andre Swift has been a Top-5 fantasy running back (RB5) since week 4, totaling over 600 yards of offense (437 rushing, 178 receiving), adding 19 receptions, to go with 4 rushing touchdowns. His usage has seen a significant uptick during this stretch, after averaging 14.3 touches per game the first three weeks of the season, he’s been averaging 21.4 touches his last five games. Sunday he lines up against a Patriots defense that has allowed the 2nd most rushing yards (1,121 yards) this season, at 4.7 yards per attempt. Swift should see plenty of work Sunday and could top the century mark with a score or two.
That's my take
