Let him sit one more.
No thanks. A 75% McCaffrey equals about a 100% anyone else. The rest is just gravy.In redraft, I would move him now before he comes back and looks "different" and gives about 1/3 touches to Mike Davis.
Said the Saquon owners in 2019.No thanks. A 75% McCaffrey equals about a 100% anyone else. The rest is just gravy.
Not exactly apples to apples, as I don’t recall Saquon performing consistently at a mark 40% higher than the next closest RB over the course of the previous 18 games (or at any point for that matter). No less, Saquon was an elite difference maker in the fantasy playoffs last year and likely won championships for those that rode him out.Said the Saquon owners in 2019.
Barkley was the number 7 RB in PPG last year.Said the Saquon owners in 2019.
How much did that monster game in week 16 help that and how many Barkley owners made it that far to harvest the fruit?Barkley was the number 7 RB in PPG last year.
I hope he doesn't. 1 Extra game gives him 10 full days rest and if he's even pushing to play this week, he should be ready to rock next week.Matt Rhule says CMC is a "possibility" for Thursday. But he also hasn't been activated from IR yet.
Fully with you. Short week on his first hard workout? I sure hope CAR is smarter than that.I hope he doesn't. 1 Extra game gives him 10 full days rest and if he's even pushing to play this week, he should be ready to rock next week.
Valid question. But again, if McCaffrey was operating at 60% of last year’s efficiency, he’d have still been THE #1 overall RB. If he were operating at 60% of his production this year, he’d still be a RB1.I hope he doesn't. 1 Extra game gives him 10 full days rest and if he's even pushing to play this week, he should be ready to rock next week.
I'm not talking fantasy... I just feel long term for the rest of the season, he'll be better if he doesn't play this week and lets himself heal.Valid question. But again, if McCaffrey was operating at 60% of last year’s efficiency, he’d have still been THE #1 overall RB. If he were operating at 60% of his production this year, he’d still be a RB1.
I think he’ll be fine, and if he’s not quite himself, he’s likely still an elite ppr RB. Shop him if you want, but I’d be far more regretful trading him and watching him carry another owner to a title than riding him out and seeing him underperform.
Gah! Not sure how that quotes you...see next post.I'm not talking fantasy... I just feel long term for the rest of the season, he'll be better if he doesn't play this week and lets himself heal.

First, IF an owner did make it, then Barkley probably won them a championship - 30 and 43 points in weeks 15 and 16.How much did that monster game in week 16 help that and how many Barkley owners made it that far to harvest the fruit?
I'd be very shocked if Davis commanded anywhere near that much work. CMC was playing 100% of snaps at one point, I think Davis has done enough that the 100% is a thing of the past, but I would think if the RB position sees 30 combined rushes/targets that CMC sees 25 of them.In redraft, I would move him now before he comes back and looks "different" and gives about 1/3 touches to Mike Davis.
Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) was activated from injured reserve and is practicing regularly Tuesday.
Updating a previous item, it seems CMC has shed the red non-participation jersey and donned a helmet at Tuesday's practice. This could indicate he has some chance of suiting up Thursday night against Atlanta. His Tuesday and Wednesday practice status will prove critical.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) wore a red non-participation jersey at practice Tuesday.
He wore the same jersey during Monday's practice. ESPN's David Newton said this "increases the likelihood" McCaffrey won't be available Thursday night against the Falcons. McCaffrey drafters might get their guy back for Week 9 against Kansas City. Mike Davis remains a RB2 play for at least one more week.

The footage I saw from Monday he looked like a fan that got to hang out with the Panthers for a day. He had a red jersey, but I don't think he was even wearing pads.., unless the clips I saw were afterwards?Clear as mud. I'm assuming from the timestamps that he started out with the no-contact jersey and then "shed" it? I'm desperate to get him back at RB so am hoping for the best.
I can't say, but the latest report was from Tuesday and sounds a lot more promising. Practicing regularly doesn't sound like he is just chilling on the sidelines. I am still hesitant to get my hopes up too much given the tight practice week, but Carolina has lost the last two games and may be a little more likely to want that spark.The footage I saw from Monday he looked like a fan that got to hang out with the Panthers for a day.

However, shortly after the Panthers announced that McCaffrey was designated to return from IR, David Newton of ESPN.com noted that the running back put on a helmet and swapped his red jersey for a black one.
Its certainly looking that way. If he's playing, I think he instantly slots in as a top-5 RB, especially against the Falcons.so is he like... playing?
I know its McCaffery and you play him if he's in.... but any chance they ease him in and they split work this week?Its certainly looking that way. If he's playing, I think he instantly slots in as a top-5 RB, especially against the Falcons.
This is a bit of a must win for Carolina. They have kind of overachieved so far, to the point where a wildcard isn't out of the question.
ATL surprisingly has a top notch run defense. If he does play, I could see them taking away a lot of the short yardage dirty work.I know its McCaffery and you play him if he's in.... but any chance they ease him in and they split work this week?

You're kidding right?!!!! If he's playing you play him. Ease him or not. You play him!I know its McCaffery and you play him if he's in.... but any chance they ease him in and they split work this week?
When did I say you don't play him? I clearly said the opposite and said you play him if he's in.You're kidding right?!!!! If he's playing you play him. Ease him or not. You play him!
Active or inactive for TNF, that's all you really need to know. I'd guess he won't play on Thursday and take the extra 10 days to ramp it up in practice. Then full go rest of season.Ghoti said:Clear as mud.
Didn't bother in either league I have CMC in. Probably won't until closer to the trade deadline. The GM that has Davis will be more reasonable when he's been on their bench for a few weeks.I was trying to pry away Davis for a decent price to no avail.
Panthers coach Matt Rhule is "hopeful" Christian McCaffrey (ankle) will be ready for Thursday's game against the Falcons.
Unsurprisingly, Rhule said how McCaffrey's ankle responds to Tuesday's practice on Wednesday will be key. "He looks like he’s moving around great. Just we’ll let the medical people and him determine how much he can do, or when he can play in a game. It won't be a minute too early. We'll be smart." Most signs are pointing toward a McCaffrey return — this has been the rumored return date for several weeks — but Rhule can be believed when he says the team won't force it. Despite overachieving, this is a reset year for the Panthers. They will not risk CMC's future health. We should know McCaffrey's status by Wednesday. He will not be a game-time decision.

I took him off my IR in my dynasty league...hoping that positive thinking is followed by news he's starting tomorrow!ATB said:No news today??
Borderline shocking. The biggest name in FF. I was expecting several updates. Instead... nothing?ATB said:No news today??
Yep
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 8 against the Falcons.
McCaffrey's outlook was always headed this way after he donned a non-participation jersey for practice mid-week. Mike Davis, who recorded 16/89 rushing and a season-high nine catches against the Falcons in the team's first matchup, will receive one more crack as Carolina's bell-cow (and low-end RB1) before reverting back to the bench. McCaffrey is expected to return next week against the Chiefs.

Looking like a slick track tonight (rain)... he's not officially ruled OUT - yet - but certainly sounds like that word will be coming.Is he just not expected to play or is he ruled OUT?
Dynasty: I own McCaffrey but not Davis. Thinking of offering Akers for Davis for piece of mind rest of year. I also have DHenry, Mixon and Bernard, and Conner and can start 3 RBAre there any stats re: other notable RB's who returned from a hi ankle sprain only to re-injure? Just wondering if that alone would be worthy of a Mike Davis hold (non McCaffery owner who will either try to trade to the owner or hold and see)
That seems to be giving up on Akers pretty early, IMO. I'd hold Akers and see if his value increases later in the year if you are looking to sell.Dynasty: I own McCaffrey but not Davis. Thinking of offering Akers for Davis for piece of mind rest of year. I also have DHenry, Mixon and Bernard, and Conner and can start 3 RB
Davis has no value to the other owner when McCaffrey back and I know he won't just drop Davis.
If I own Davis without McCaffrey I would reach out to McCaffrey owner now or hold him rest of year as a lotto ticket.
I have Davis, not McCaffrey. I wouldn't do that trade. Davis is an excellent, proven handcuff.Dynasty: I own McCaffrey but not Davis. Thinking of offering Akers for Davis for piece of mind rest of year. I also have DHenry, Mixon and Bernard, and Conner and can start 3 RB
