Fantasy Impact: ESPN's Kris Rhim posits that the Chargers could be forced to lean on rookie running back Omarion Hampton in a way they "didn't anticipate" in 2025. It would certainly make sense after Hampton erupted for 135 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown against the Broncos. Hampton vaults into the RB1 tier for the remainder of the season.
Eagles' star running back Saquon Barkley has struggled lately, but now is the time to buy, while it is time to cash out on Cam Skattebo.
We’re on to Week 6 of the 2025 fantasy football season. Joe Serpico shares his top fantasy plays and favorite picks for this week’s games.
Rico Dowdle had a career-game in Week 5 for the Panthers. However, he is very expendable once Chuba Hubbard is back as the starter.
Chuba Hubbard's status for the Week 6 matchup against Cowboys remains uncertain, which could make Rico Dowdle the primary RB. If that happens, fantasy managers should have him locked into their starting lineups this week.
Chuba Hubbard is dealing with a calf injury before Sunday’s game vs. Miami Dolphins. Head coach Dave Canales said the running back is currently listed as “day-to-day” with the injury. Hubbard missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Oct. 2.
As announced on Friday, Hubbard will not play in today's Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The fifth-year rusher did not participate in practice throughout the week due to a calf strain. Panthers head coach Dave Canales spoke on Hubbard's status and outlook following Friday's practice.
