What they're saying

"
Carolina visits Cleveland in a game between two of the three worst post-contact run defenses in all the land, and Hubbard lands 17th among running backs in PFN’s Week 3 rankings. Boring can be productive in the right spot, and this qualifies: he has cleared fantasy per-touch expectations by more than 16% in both games, has seen the majority of his touches come in enemy territory, and owns twice as many 10-plus-yard runs as stuffed efforts.
