2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hubbard is overshadowed by teammate Trey Hendrickson, but he has emerged as a key player along the Bengals' defensive line with steady and reliable play. He is among the best run defenders in the league among edge players and also provides some pass-rush presence. That makes it pretty easy to set expectations, as Hubbard has between 58 and 62 tackles in each of his last four seasons and has at least six sacks in each of the last three. If there is a shortcoming to point to, it's been Hubbard's propensity to miss games. He's failed to play a full season since 2018 -- his rookie season - though he has played in at least 15 contests in the last three years. Read Past Outlooks
Ruled out Sunday
Hubbard (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
The defensive lineman made one solo tackle before exiting, and he also caught his only target for two yards and a touchdown. Hubbard has 41 tackles (25 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass breakups, including an interception, and a forced fumble on the year. Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai are Cincinnati's next available defensive ends.

Hubbard has become one of the pillars of the Bengals' defense after being drafted in the third round in 2018, recording at least 60 tackles in four consecutive seasons and at least six sacks in four of his five NFL campaigns. While his career high in the latter category is just 8.5, making him more of a floor player than upside asset for fantasy purposes, his run-stuffing prowess and ability to seal the edge makes him a perfect complement to Trey Hendrickson in the Cincinnati pass rush. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has had Hubbard at his disposal for his entire tenure with the team, so there should be no surprises in terms of usage.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Says he's in best shape of career
Hubbard believes he's in the best shape of his career heading into the 2023 season, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. "This is the best I've felt in my whole career by a landslide physically," Hubbard said.
ANALYSIS
Hubbard added that his goals are to win the Super Bowl and reach double-digit sacks in the regular season. He almost accomplished both goals in 2021, as Hubbard had 7.5 sacks in the regular season and three more in the playoffs while the Bengals reached the Super Bowl before losing to the Rams. Hubbard missed two games in 2022 due to a calf injury but believes an improved fitness routine will help him avoid injuries and increase his effectiveness moving forward.
