3 mins agoThe Carolina Panthers placed lead running back Chuba Hubbard (calf, knee) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Saturday, meaning that Raheem Blackshear will now be elevated to a prominent role in Carolina’s backfield for the final two weeks of the season. The 26-year-old is currently the only healthy RB on the Panthers’ roster, but the team will surely elevate Mike Boone from the practice squad for the Week 17 contest on Sunday against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers that had been riding Hubbard’s excellent season could now pivot to Blackshear, although he shouldn’t be viewed as much more than a last-minute RB3/flex pivot in a matchup against a Tampa defense that has allowed the fewest half-PPR points to RBs in the last five weeks. Blackshear’s role will grow for sure, but he could also be splitting valuable touches with Boone.—Keith Hernandez – RotoBaller

As we head into the final week of the fantasy football season, Raheem Blackshear is a player to keep an eye on. The versatile running back has been a key contributor for his team all season long and has the potential to put up big numbers in Week 17.

Blackshear has been a dual-threat out of the backfield, making an impact both as a runner and a receiver. His ability to break tackles and make defenders miss in the open field has made him a valuable asset for fantasy owners.

In Week 17, Blackshear faces a favorable matchup against a struggling defense that has struggled to contain opposing running backs. This could be a prime opportunity for him to have a breakout performance and put up some serious fantasy points.

If you’re in need of a running back for your fantasy lineup in Week 17, Raheem Blackshear could be the player to turn to. Keep an eye on his performance and consider starting him with confidence in your lineup.
