Ashton Jeanty vs Chuba Hubbard: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Ashton Jeanty and Chuba Hubbard is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Las Vegas Raiders running back put up 12.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Chuba Hubbard of the Carolina Panthers averaged 7.4 in 15. A 5.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.4 points favors Ashton Jeanty, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Ashton Jeanty is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 55 targets into 346 yards, while Chuba Hubbard profiles as a more traditional rusher with 511 rushing yards and 1 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Ashton Jeanty carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
One scheduling note: Ashton Jeanty is off Week 10 and Chuba Hubbard Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
