Late-Round Draft Picks: Chuba Hubbard, Gus Edwards (2023 Fantasy Football)

Late-Round Draft Picks: Chuba Hubbard, Gus Edwards (2023 Fantasy Football)

Whether you’re a Zero RB purist or a drafter who likes to attack the running back position early on, it’s often those late-round running back selections that really turn an average roster into a league winner. With wide receivers being prioritized earlier in drafts this year, it’s more important than ever to hit on running back selections when you do make them. This article will take a look at running back dart throw options in the 150+ range of Underdog ADP and consider why these dart throws could hit the bullseye in 2023.

Late-Round Draft Picks (2023 Fantasy Football)

Chuba Hubbard (CAR) – ADP 180

It’s clear to everyone that Miles Sanders is the RB1 in Carolina, but it’s also true that Sanders doesn’t and hasn’t ever profiled as a true three-down running back unless that is, of course, that you think the Eagles, one of the best teams in the NFL, mismanaged Sanders over the last few years and failed to use him to his true potential. Hubbard boasted 2.5 yards per route run in 2022 as a pass-catcher, the second-highest amount of any RB with 10+ targets, and with an upgrade at quarterback that could increase this year. Hubbard will find his way onto the field early and would be a top-tier handcuff if anything should happen to Sanders.

Gus Edwards (BAL) – ADP 188

Much like JK Dobbins, Gus Edwards is also going to be a year further removed from his ACL injury and should enjoy a healthy training camp ahead of an important year. Throughout Edwards’s career, he has never averaged less than 5.0 yards per carry, being the definition of a running back who will get you what is needed as he runs behind the Ravens’ underrated offensive line. With a new scheme in Baltimore and new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, the whole of this Ravens offense looks set for a bump in value this year, and Edwards can be viewed as a player with standalone value and also a bet against the uncertainty surrounding JK Dobbins who didn’t take part in mini-camp, amidst a contract stand-off as he enters the final year of his rookie deal.
