Panthers head coach Ron Rivera told reporters that he'd like to have Christian McCaffrey see 15-20 carries and upwards of another 10 catches out of the backfield. (Steve Reed on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

The Panthers hyped McCaffrey's role this preseason, leading him to sore up draft boards. That wasn't the case Week 1, but McCaffrey still carries a nice floor, especially in PPR leagues, given his abilities as a receiver. He's still a solid RB2 with RB1 upside, and the potential for more touches should keep him firmly in fantasy lineups.
