Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Hubbard didn't practice all week after injuring his ankle versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. D'Onta Foreman will be the Panthers' starter versus the Falcons, but head coach Steve Wilks said undrafted rookie Raheem Blackshear will see more playing time in Week 8.
numberFire's models project Foreman for 15.5 touches and 72.1 yards on Sunday while Blackshear is projected for 7.2 touches and 32.2 yards. The Falcons have the best run defense in our advanced team metrics, compared to the No. 21 pass defense, creating a potential funnel for P.J. Walker and the Panthers' pass offense.
