Brooks going to IR doesn't elevate Hubbard, it just removes the one guy who could've cut into his workload. He's already put up 23.7 and 14.4 the last two weeks without needing the promotion. Carolina is a mild home favorite in a middling total, which is fine, not thrilling. Start him with confidence as a low-end RB2 and stop treating this like news.
