Miles Sanders To Take A Back Seat To Chuba Hubbard In Week 9

Miles Sanders To Take A Back Seat To Chuba Hubbard In Week 9

one year ago

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders will serve as the team's backup running back in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts. According to head coach Frank Reich, it will be Chuba Hubbard and not Sanders receiving the start in Week 9 against the Colts. That being said, Reich does still plan on splitting the workload between the two backs. He told reporters that he still has confidence in Sanders but that Hubbard has the hot hand and will start as a result. Fantasy gamers have gotten very little production out of Sanders this season and should not have him in starting lineups in Week 9 despite a plus matchup against a weak Indianapolis run defense.
