Christian McCaffrey’s injury: Does it mean Chuba Hubbard or Royce Freeman is RB1 in fantasy football?

SPOILER: It’s Chuba Hubbard SZN.

Ugh. What awful news coming out of Thursday Night Football for Christian McCaffrey, the Carolina Panthers and those in fantasy football who took the RB with the first overall pick.

During the 24-9 win over the Houston Texans, McCaffrey left and was an out due to what head coach Matt Rhule called a “strained hamstring.”

That left rookie Chuba Hubbard to take over the backfield along with former Denver Broncos back Royce Freeman. But what’s the fantasy outlook for the two of them the rest of the season? Let’s break it all down even though we’re a few days away from waiver wire time.
