Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran for 72 yards and 2 TDs on 15 carries in Sunday's win over the Saints.
Hubbard's 3 targets vs. 2 for Miles Sanders made their work split look closer in that area. But Hubbard ran four times as many routes (20 to 5).
He also beat Sanders 15-2 in carries and watched Sanders' rushing attempts go for minus-5 yards.
Hubbard will find out this week if rookie Jonathon Brooks poses any threat. Carolina needs to decide by Wednesday whether to activate Brooks or shut him down for the season.
Whoever's in the Carolina backfield will get an upside matchup with the Giants in Week 11, ahead of a Week 12 bye.
