Chuba Hubbard vs Trey Benson: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Chuba Hubbard and Trey Benson is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.2 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Chuba Hubbard averaged 7.4 PPG with the Carolina Panthers across 15 games, and Trey Benson posted 7.2 with the Arizona Cardinals in 4.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Chuba Hubbard ran for 511 yards and 1 touchdowns; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Chuba Hubbard has his bye in Week 5, and Trey Benson rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
