What It Means:

The Panthers' trade of Christian McCaffrey creates a huge opportunity for Hubbard and Foreman, but unfortunately it's on the worst offense in the league. Foreman is the favorite to work as the early-down back while Hubbard figures to be the preferred option in passing situations. Blackshear has only contributed on special teams so far, but the Panthers might mix the undrafted rookie free agent in here and there. Good luck to any fantasy owners forced to start any Panthers players in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

numberFire's models project Foreman for 10.7 touches and 49.7 yards while Hubbard is projected for 8.9 touches and 42.3 yards. The Buccaneers are allowing the fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position this season and they have the No. 13 run defense in our schedule-adjusted metrics.
