Christian McCaffrey
RB - CAR
2018 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesApparently the Panthers are planning to feed McCaffrey quite a bit more this season, extending his upside further. We already considered him to be among the safest backs, seeing that his receiving production alone would make him startable. There are few more reliable players from week to week at the position, especially in PPR leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey accumulated 11 yards and a touchdown on four carries while adding catching both of his targets for 29 yards in Thursday night's preseason victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Fantasy Impact
All the reports suggest McCaffrey will see a greater role in the offense -- they say he could see upwards to 25 touches per game in 2018 -- and his goal-line touchdown in between the tackles only proves that the Panthers aren't afraid to use him in those situations. Holding back-end RB1 upside in PPR scoring formats, McCaffrey should be one of the first RBs selected early in the second round of fantasy drafts.
