Small sample size (obviously) but CMC has actually been better per game than he was in 2019. Denver, Green Bay, Washington is a pretty nice schedule too. I'm not sure I'd rather own anyone else these last 3 weeks. Kinda like Barkley last year, in that if you made it despite him, he likely won it for you.
I made it starting my draft with CMC, Kelce, Chubb, Sutton, Mostert, Hilton. So, basically just Kelce for most of the season.
Not what you wanna hear, but could certainly be nothing. Being limited on a Wednesday, is usually still a good sign. If he is suddenly absent from practice Friday, then I'll be worried, but for now, no biggie.
Guys on the afternoon fantasy Sirius/XM radio show don’t think he’ll play another game this year. He injured the quad last week and tweaked it again today, so I seriously doubt they jeopardize their franchise player and put him out there at less than 100% in a meaningless game.
If it was an important game, I could see the optimism, but at this point, there is a small dimmer of hope. With nothing on the line, why put him out there at less than 100%. It makes zero sense. I'm making other plans.
Its an important game in my opinion. They are 2 games out of the playoffs with 4 to go, stranger things have happened, and its possible they can go 3-1 in that stretch. Also, finishing strong is a huge deal, especially for a 1st year coach.
Wouldn't they just throw him on IR then? Or come out and say they were holding him out for the remaining weeks to preserve him for next season? It isn't like you are risking attendance and mutiny, people can't go to the games anyway...
I don't entirely understand the "shut him down" sentiments you hear regarding players. If they can play and be effective, and have no higher than normal risk of re-injury, they should play and generally do. My assumption here is they think (or hope) McCaffrey can meet those criteria before the end of the year.
Agreed. There is a big difference between CMC, and somebody like Julio Jones, where shutting him down might make sense, as its the same injury over and over again.
...and the window for an elite RB to be elite is a lot shorter. If you have a Julio who could give you 10 years at that level, overly cautious is an easier sell.
Get healthy.. thankfully have a bye and don't need him until week 15. Not holding my breath at all.
Yeah, it's to the point I almost would rather CMC be shut down and play Mike Davis with the hopes of and 80 total 2 td game. Worst case scenario is CMC comes back for this Saturday and then [redacted].
Nothing would be better for that than upsetting the Packers. Sort of like miami beating the Patriots last season
I think you'll get your wish there. If CMC is back, it won't be as an accessory, it'll be as the centerpiece. If he plays, I'd expect 25 touches, unless he gets banged up again.
