Fantasy Football Player Notes

McCaffrey suffered a high ankle sprain against the Bucs, has been placed on IR, and will miss several weeks (4-6), according to reports. You're obviously not dropping him, but it's an enormous blow to every fantasy manager who undoubtedly took him first overall. Remember that McCaffrey's timetable still leaves him available for at least the entire second half of the season, so managers with strong depth can do their best to stay afloat and survive until they can make a second-half push.

Davis should be in line to see the majority of touches in the Carolina backfield when Christian McCaffrey on IR with a high-ankle sprain. Davis won't replace McCaffrey's production, but his ability to chip in as a pass-catcher should give him a fairly high floor. In the right matchup, he should earn RB2 status.
