Your fantasy football playoffs are quickly approaching, and I believe that I found the five best running backs for the fantasy playoffs.

I'd consider these guys must-haves for the fantasy postseason if you actually want to win your league because of both their roles and their fantasy schedules.

That's very important.

And it starts with Chuba Hubbard of the Carolina Panthers, who all season long has been an absolute stud for Carolina.

And that once again continued this

past week, despite the brutal matchup, despite people telling me, oh my God, how are you ranking

Chuba Hubbard as a top 12 running back? He's taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. They're so good.

And yes, their run defense is great, but the reason why I'm ranking him that highly is because

this dude continues to produce and the Panthers' offense looks a lot better the past month with Bryce Young, 17 touches. You get the touchdown late in the game to get you there for 15 fantasy points.

And believe it or not, 15 fantasy points is like one of his worst performances over the past two months.

That's how consistent this guy has been. And the craziest part about all this was this was the day that Jonathan Brooks, the second round rookie running back, the first running back taken in the 2024 NFL draft, this was the day that he made his NFL debut.

He made his season debut and he comes out there and womp, womp, womp, he only sees two carries for seven yards.

Now, of course, he's coming off of a torn ACL, a torn ACL that took him almost a year to recover from.

He tore this ACL last November in Texas at college. So in my opinion,

it seems like there might have been some underlying complications there. It's normally a nine-month

recovery, especially for a young running back, but otherwise, or regardless, I should say,

Chuba Hubbard comes out here, who recently just got paid more on that in a second, and he plays

88% of the snaps. He says, Jonathan Brooks, I don't care about you at all. He says 89% he sees of the rush attempts in this game, 68% of the routes.

This was just all Chuba Hubbard once again.

And as I mentioned, this is what we're getting all season long.

And that's why they paid the guy.

They recently paid the guy earlier this month in November, a four-year extension for 33 million.
