Miles Sanders

Blackshear missed Week 15 with the chest issue but should be good to go after opening the week with a full session. With Jonathon Brooks and Miles Sanders on injured reserve, Blackshear will likely split the RB2 duties with Mike Boone, though neither is on the fantasy radar for Week 16.

The Panthers couldn't get much going on offense and bled points to Dallas on the other side of the ball, making it impossible to establish much of a ground game. Hubbard still saw the bulk of the backfield opportunities, out-touching practice squad call-up Mike Boone 14-2. With Miles Sanders and Jonathon Brooks both on injured reserve, the only thing stopping Hubbard from lighting up the scoreboard is his dreadful offensive environment. That had been better over the past month, but things came crashing down this week with four Bryce Young turnovers. Hubbard and the offense should look better in Week 16 against the Cardinals, keeping Hubbard near the top of the RB2 ranks for the fantasy semifinals.

With Jonathon Brooks and Miles Sanders on injured reserve, Blackshear is in line for RB2 duties in Carolina if healthy. Recently signed Velus Jones is listed as a receiver by the Panthers but played some running back with the Bears before being cut. He would seemingly be the team's backup without Blackshear, though Mike Boone is also waiting in the wings on the practice squad. All of this is to say, expect plenty of Chuba Hubbard to close out the year.

Blackshear's health normally wouldn't change the fantasy landscape in the slightest, but with Jonathon Brooks and Miles Sanders both out, Blackshear is the next man up for RB2 duties in Charlotte. Blackshear's absence would lock Chubba Hubbard in for nearly every available snap at running back in Week 15.
