RB Christian McCaffrey, SF (5 Viewers)

[mr roboto]

I think this also says a lot (and maybe more) about the prevalence of the spread offense, and it's use of backfield receivers, than the state of WR/OLs.

It is crazy, though.

I feel like the last few years the WR classes haven’t lit it up. 

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Bloom suggested on Twitter that the default PPR scoring needs to move to 0.5 PPr for RBs, 1.0 for WRs, 1.5 for TEs. 

I could see that..  But not this year fellow owners

Currently six NFL RBs are on pace to break the single season reception record for an RB.

CMC - 160 reception pace
Chris Thompson - 152
Saquon Barkley - 128
Melvin Gordon -120
Alvin Kamara- 120
Theo Riddick - 112

Chris Thompson had 13 receptions this week.

Before this week, the last time that a RB had a 13+ reception regular season game was 2012.

This week, Thompson ranked 3rd among RBs in receptions, behind McCaffrey & Barkley.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Theo Riddick is on pace to catch 100+ balls and no one gives a #### about him. 

 

[ZWK]

Every RB season since 1999 with 1000+ YFS and more receiving yards than rushing yards (using data from PFR):
2001    Duce Staley    (604 rushing and 626 receiving)
2001    Warrick Dunn    (447 rushing and 557 receiving)
2006    Reggie Bush    (565 rushing and 742 receiving)
2011    Darren Sproles    (603 rushing and 710 receiving)
2013    Danny Woodhead    (429 rushing and 605 receiving)
2015    Danny Woodhead    (336 rushing and 755 receiving)
2015    Charles Sims    (529 rushing and 561 receiving)
2017    Alvin Kamara    (728 rushing and 826 receiving)
2017    Christian McCaffrey    (435 rushing and 651 receiving)
2017    Duke Johnson    (348 rushing and 693 receiving)

RBs this year on pace through 2 games for 1000+ YFS and more receiving yards than rushing yards:
Alvin Kamara    (75 rushing and 165 receiving)
Christian McCaffrey    (87 rushing and 147 receiving)
Melvin Gordon    (92 rushing and 140 receiving)
Chris Thompson    (66 rushing and 155 receiving)
Dalvin Cook    (78 rushing and 107 receiving)
Bilal Powell    (66 rushing and 79 receiving)
James White    (29 rushing and 111 receiving)

Odd, when my dynasty league did this 8 years ago it seemed like such an outlier.

That was 8 years ago 

This is the first year we brought it up and ended up passing. Will prob do it next year if this continues.

I don't think the McCaffrey, Thompson, or Barkley owner would want to change the rule. Should we change the rules every time the NFL changes? QB's are putting up ridiculous numbers, should we change their touchdowns to 3 pts?

Holy crap, we’re cutting edge pioneers!  We did this when we set up our dynasty league in 2002 and have been advocates for it since then.

 

[BassNBrew]

If you're not watching, CMac is killing it today.  Power running between the tackles and breaking all kinds of tackles.  24 carries and 169 yards with 6 minutes left.

Looks fantastic. To think was trying to deal for DJ in off season.

To think this is all with minimal targets. 

 

[rickyg]

patience has definitely paid off with this kid...CMC owners had to endure the year of comparisons too danny woodhead.  

 

[metoo]

He can't run between the tackles. Don't regret taking him over Fournette in my dynasty league.

 

[Elevencents]

Stand pat in my position he would be competing for RB1 if he didn’t have vulture at the helm. But one could argue its Cam’s legs that also benefit CMC so eh. 

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Great game. Could have been one for the ages if he had his usually 12-15 points on dumpoffs but I'll take it

 

[Bronco Billy]

Thankfully those guys have long since tucked their tails and slinked away from this thread.

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Just imagine how good he'd be if he was a 3 down RB who could run between the tackles.  Oh wait...

 

[reggio1]

LOL, this is just one game. Let's see if he can keep it up for the whole season. 

 

[Elevencents]

You mean 3 games? Unless you’re talking strictly from a rushing perspective. He had two good receiving games and one good rushing game.

More from a rushing perspective. I'm not in a PPR league so he is not as valuable to me in that sense.

You don’t get receiving yards? Weird.

I didn't say that. PPR (points per reception). 

 

[jeaton6]

So where are we at here? All the 200+ CJA carry guys haven’t been by for a visit in a while.

CJA “the workhorse” pace: 64 carries, 69 touches.

CMAC “the small, unable to carry the load guy” pace: 245 carries, 362 touches.

But, but neither guy is carrying the ball much and they are going to make a point of getting CJA more involved, right guys?

So much for CJA “the 200 carry lock” Anderson.

 

[C-Bound]

Jesus, if this guy could just score a TD...look out.  Positive TD progression on deck.

The Julio Jones of RB?!   It’ll come. Unfortunately, I’ll be guaranteed to say eff Cam at least once a week. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Really pretty meh...if you take out his long run he only averaged 5.15 per carry.

 

[Insein]

He's going to need to start scoring from 20+ yards out because redzone is basically Cam's TD territory.

Game 2: 8 carries for 37 yards, 14 receptions for 102 yards

Game 3: 28 carries for 184 yards, 2 receptions for 10 yards

PACE: 1,445 yds rushing, 837 yds receiving

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Christian McCaffrey has played 85.1 percent, 94 percent and 100 percent of the Carolina offense snaps over their opening three games.

McCaffrey's share of the team touches has gone from 32.7 percent to 44 percent to 53.4 percent.

McCaffrey -the RB12 overall and RB7 in points per game- is the only running back in the top-30 of overall scoring that has yet to score a touchdown.

Even with Newton continuing to be a thorn in his touchdown upside, McCaffrey has established one of the highest floors at the position as he’s elevated into a bellcow back this season, positing 95, 139 and 194 yards from scrimmage to start the year.

Well, he took a big doughnut last week, so that just proves he couldn’t carry Woodhead’s jock.

[Worm]

Ladies and gentleman, our guy is currently not quite on pace for 1k/1k. But there is time. And he is the current leader in yards from scrimmage per game. I believe!

 

[Worm]

Also, his current pace would put him in the top 50 single seasons all time in yards from scrimmage.

22.5 touches per game.  Not quite the 25 Riveria said but more than the 15 most expected.

 

[C-Bound]

And boy do I need him more than ever with the uncertainty of Kamara and Conner going forward.

 

[Bronco Billy]

22.5 touches per game.  Not quite the 25 Riveria said but more than the 15 most expected.

More than I expected, and I thought I was being realistic.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

The Panthers have trailed for just 23.1 percent of their offensive snaps, the second-lowest rate in the league outside of the Chiefs (13.5 percent).

Panthers running backs average 2.66 yards before contact on their carries, the highest rate for a backfield.

He’s been an RB1 in each of his past two games despite only receiving 13.6 percent of the team targets, cementing him as one of the of the highest-floor players at this position. He already has 90 touches through four games after totaling 53 through four games as a rookie.

In a ppr keeper league where you keep 10 I was just offered CMC and Guice for Elliott.  CMC's usage makes me want to accept this trade.

Elliot is great but this seems like a good deal for you.

Elliot is great but this seems like a good deal for you.

Yeah, if I do the deal then my RBs for next year would be CMC, Guice, Thompson, Lewis, and maybe Hines depending on how he does.

CMC for JuJu and A Collins

I think if CMC's usage stays the same then the CMC side wins.  I'm sure others might disagree though.

Collins has become pretty much bench fodder. So CMC if you are ppr. 

I just traded him for OBJ and I had to think a while about it. Not sure I would do it straight up but I also have OBJ keeper rights.

Let's stop tracking this, shall we? I don't need bad mojo on the single player that's saving my team from going down in flames.

I -think- I lean toward Juju/Collins in this scenario, but it's pretty close.
