RB Christian McCaffrey, SF (3 Viewers)

Hoping for a few elite weeks then I will probably sell. I simply don't think he is going to last very long.
This is the way I think I feel too. Thankfully, in my fantasy schedule I face my own division in the first 3 weeks. So hopefully CMC buries my main comp and then after I sell and ride off into the sunset.

CMC might be correct, but who we gonna trust?

"Nothing serious, I'll tell you that," the running back said Friday. "Like I said, I feel great about where I'm at. Unfortunately when you have the injury history that I have, sometimes when you don't practice, things get blown out of proportion. But like I said, I feel great."

I might also need to reread my state of mind here so I will reply to myself in 3 weeks and see if Past Hartliner made sense or if I want to keep gambling.
 
First time buyer.

I can't take much more of this rollercoaster.

:laugh:🔫
Fingers crossed buddy. It’s all we can do at this point is hope. I learned from Star Wars that hope is a powerful thing. Rebellions are built on hope.
:oldunsure:
Or from another movie, “Hope is a good thing, if not the best of things.”
Only problem is that my fantasy team just finished crawling through 500 yards of poop-smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to, over this very situation.

Instead of coming out clean the other side, Shanny and CMC now want me to go back for the Rita Hayworth poster.
 
With RB Jordan James out, it’s notable the Niners did not elevate a RB, which suggests CMC should play.

SF always has 3 available RBs for game days, so no way they roll in Seattle with just Robinson and Guerendo at RB.
 
No one elevated from the practice squad for RB’s
A positive sign, though I’m not sure who they’d need to elevate. I’d been seeing that if CMC can’t go it’ll be Guerendo & BRob, both of whom are on the active roster. And juice I guess would be the emergency 3rd RB?

Sincere McCormick would have been the RB to elevate if CMC wasn't available.

Sure but who do they have on the PS that could start? Didn’t they move on from Izzy?

I’d think Juice would handle emergency duties if BRob/Guerendo get hurt.

Also, related, I hate that it’s September 6th prior to game one and we’re having this discussion. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Oh ####!!!! I gotta hit the waiver wire.

I feel like The Count. FOUR! FOUR, SAN FRANCISCO RUNNING BACKS! BWAH HA HA!!!

Kinda shocked that guy is so buried, he looked like a capable #2 RB in Vegas last year. I thought given the situation he was in, he was more impressive than Guerendo last season.
 
Suppose he plays, has no issues, puts up very solid but not nuclear numbers. Let's say 20 in ppr.

Who's rushing to sell at that point just to escape the risk and volatility? Because that's all I'm thinking about and all I'm hoping for

Literally everyone who has shares in formats that allow trading.
:lol:

Same approach I’m taking with ARich tbh. One start, decent FF numbers, I’m out.

I think it'd depend on how he got the 20. If its say 15-80 rushing and 6-60 receiving, maybe you can recoup the investment a bit.

If its like 8-35 rushing and 2-25 receiving and 2 TDs, I think that's not gonna convince anyone who didn't already believe.

In a dynasty I'm in I got offered a 2026 first for him but I said no since I more or less have no RBs. I drafted Henderson this year as my #2. I would love to get a 1+ starting RB for him.
Not happening today, but be prepared if he he can put 3-4 productive game’s together if you are willing to do it.

I am pretty sure if CMC is healthy he will produce.

not worried about that at all. and you are right. if he has one or two monster games people will forget all about his injury risk (which will still be there) and you will perhaps get a real nice offer.

for me, I bumped him down my list due to the injury history and reports he was hurt in training camp. Then his team goes out and trades for a RB capable of starting and its looking like the team knows more than we do and CMC may not play.

so yeah, if thinking about trading him away you might as well do it after he has a good game.

though I would argue based on his ADP I dont know that there is a lot of profit to be made. if hes healthy Id guess a prudent owner would want all that production to themselves.

obviously there are situations where you trade him anyway. ie. if you are in a keeper league and not that competitive. in that scenario, you want a young player you can keep or a high draft pick (depending on your league rules of course)

Either way, if you are going to sell, doing so right after one or two good games would likely be the time to do it.

If the CMC owner wants to sell low after he has a decent start I'm buying. Nothing has changed since you drafted him. :shrug:
My brother you are the ballsier than me bastage I'm counting on.

What reports were those? He was the only healthy RB on the team this offseason.

I have to back this up. The optimism for McCaffrey grew every day that he was healthy in camp. I'm in either this thread or others at one point pretty much saying he's a DND at cost and he's injury-prone and that his injuries are a function of his body to changing my mind and saying that I'd consider him and consider him in the middle if not early first-round because of the advantage he gives you when healthy.

That was due to all the glowing reports out of camp.
 
So. McCaffrey's week one will go either:

Out week 1
Out season
Out 2-6 weeks
Active no snaps
Active 300 yards 4 tds
Active 200 yards 3 tds
Active 100 yards 1 td

Hmmmm. If I gambled id bet 100 yards and 1 td.

Not I, but I also only have him in dynasty, intentionally. I chose Jeanty instead when possible in annual. I have backups teed up (Harvey, Henderson, Judkins) in dyno so when father time calls his name, next man up.

Selling and selling low are two different things. As you said, nothing has changed since he was drafted.
