Fantasy Impact:

Obviously, Rhule also said that McCaffrey will still be a featured piece in the offense. The star running back, who just signed a lucrative four-year extension, played over 1,000 snaps last year. That is unheard of in this day and age. McCaffrey also played the most snaps of any running back in 2018. It is easy for coaches to say things like this during the off-season, but come game day it could prove difficult to take CMC off the field. He remains the consensus number one draft pick in fantasy football.
