Fantasy Impact:
McCaffrey was limited in practice last week but ultimately did not play against the Eagles. When healthy, the 25-year-old is the best running back in football, as evidenced by his 324 scrimmage yards and one touchdown over the first two weeks of the season. Carolina will be smart with its handling of McCaffrey, so if he suits up, he should be started in 100 percent of leagues. Chuba Hubbard could maintain a role despite serving as McCaffrey's backup.
