2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Tallies 6.0 sacks in 2023
Hubbard recorded 58 tackles (38 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries across 15 regular-season appearances in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Hubbard has racked up at least 6.0 sacks in five of his six seasons with the Bengals. His value for Cincinnati comes more as a run stopper than as a true pass rusher, which makes him more a floor than ceiling IDP play, but there's value in his consistent usage. Hubbard remains under contract with the Bengals for two more seasons.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
Hubbard fits into the IDP category of modest ceiling, high floor. That’s because he’s only an
average pass rusher, capping his typical year-end sack production around eight most of the
time, which in turn limits his upside. He offsets this somewhat with uncommon tackle production,
which helps raise his floor. For leagues that emphasize sacks or devalue tackles, Hubbard
should be ranked much lower.
