Fantasy Impact:
McCaffrey, the eighth overall pick in last week's NFL Draft, signed his four-year rookie contract Thursday. Although he is expected to open the upcoming season as Carolina's top running back, long time starter Jonathan Stewart will likely still have a prominent role in the offense. From a fantasy football perspective, McCaffrey should be viewed in the high-end RB2 tier until his clear-cut role in the offense is determined. However, expect his value to peak in PPR scoring formats, more so than in standard leagues.
