Storylines

Chuba Hubbard grades out as CAR's best

Chuba Hubbard (RB) is at 74 out of 100 through week 8 of 2026. That score compares him with everyone else at his position — an 84 would mean better than 84% of them — and it comes from charted play, not raw totals.

Where They Stand

Overall: Grade 47, 25th of 32 — in the bottom third.

Strengths: running backs (1st).

Weaknesses: defensive line (31st), secondary (31st) and defense (30th).

Coaching: Dave Canales falls 1.2 points a game short of what his rosters' grades say he should, over 41 games, 27th in the league.

Defense — better on paper: The defense's players grade 51 out of 100, but on the field that side has played better than 20% of the league.

This season: 3-4. Last time out, they lost to Green Bay Packers 19-27.

Since preseason: Up 3.4 points since the preseason, mostly because its offense played better than before (better than 20% of the league, now better than 61%) and its defense players graded down (Tershawn Wharton −7 and Lee Hunter −7). Losing doesn't move the grade by itself. The grade is how well the players and each side of the ball played, and 7 games still counts for less than last season.

Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.
