At this point, nobody should be shocked if he doesn't see the field again in 2020. It's not like they're competing for a playoff spot.

Well, I made it to my league championship minus CMC and Mixon for the vast majority of the season.
Who thinks that McCaffery will re-emerge just in time in Week 16?
Any other survivors?

Yeah I managed to make it here, too. Yeah he will probably play. This is a redraft and we have already split the prize money so it is just for pride.Well, I made it to my league championship minus CMC and Mixon for the vast majority of the season.

So he is definitely playing now that it doesn't matter.

I also made an agreement to split the prize money, per my challenger's offer. He has a young daughter -- just over a year old -- and likely needs the money much more than I do. (I've been very blessed this year.) In fact, if he beats me, I plan on reverting back to the original payout (80/20), which would make me feel pretty good. (Generosity is never completely selfless.) I'm a sucker for the Holiday spirit!
That said, this is my 3rd straight final appearance. I've lost the previous two, despite being a heavy favorite both seasons. I just want the win, baby! Otherwise I might have to change my team name to pay homage to the 90's Buffalo Bills. Perhaps something incorporating HC Levy's name?

I made it with my top 2 picks being CMC and Chubb. While trading for Golladay right before he got hurt.Well, I made it to my league championship minus CMC and Mixon for the vast majority of the season.

Rhule sounded like thought CMC would play when he spoke Tuesday. But I don't think I can take it for granted.
I think he is an autostart if he plays.

Got into the semis, but couldn't survive without him this week. Down weeks from Davis (Rodney f###ing Smith), Samuel and Davante Adams sunk me.Well, I made it to my league championship minus CMC and Mixon for the vast majority of the season.

gllll to those who DID make it. I have him for a couple more years (contract league) so the future's not TOO dark.

He’s done, already peaked- from here on out he will have earned the damaged merchandise tag. Will see you at the 3rd down and only club Chrissy...

At some point, they're really hedging against a hold out. I don't think any team is fooling themselves. They all know the risk. I wonder what the economics are of paying to avoid a hold out while spreading that money over years. Probably interesting. But I don't think teams are blind anymore. Twenty-five. That's the age when the wheels fall off. Running backs are some of the best youth and high school players (and collegiate players) but the human body can't withstand punishment like running backs take. Listen to the mics on the field and hear all the crunching with every hit. It's a car wreck out there.
They're going to have to do something within the union or the CBA to address the running back issue, too. It can't hold the way it's all being currently constructed. Right now, a second contract essentially pays for past performance.

Respect. Not questioning the talent level- For me he's just not tough enough to earn #1 status anymore- NFL baby, gotta play dinged up, most of them do.. Believe staying healthy will a problem for him. Early to mid #2's.
Happy new year Ballers

Main worry is the Panthers reluctance to play him unless he was 100%. Hoping it was just because they were out of the playoff push.

Consensus number one and I have questions…
…the offensive line is bad, Darnold is a question mark….
…will he really put up 1500-2000 total yards and 12-20 TDs?
… will the extended time off help or hurt?

And this is precisely the reason I hope I draw #1 pick NOWHERE this year. I am not much liking my teams in most any mock where I go off in the top 3 picks or so. Seems like I get stuck with bull#### at wide out.
But, lets be honest, if you don't get CMC at #1, then who do you get?

Henry doesn’t really catch, but I could see him getting a lot of scoring chances

I'm off Henry, the touches he has been accumulating are just insane. Sure, I might miss out on a league winner, but I'd rather be first off the bus than last. That breakdown is coming, you just never know when its going to happen. Might be years.
Cook is appealing, but I would reach for Mattison if I get him.
If I draw #1 in my biggest league, I'll either (we pull names then select your own draft slot) acquire CMC at #1, or go straight to slot 12 and go WR-WR. (Our big leagues start 3 WRs, non ppr) So going WR WR if you can get studs isn't a bad idea.
Hell I might get Ekeler and a stud wideout too. I have about 10 days to mull it over.

CMC was on the last FF Today show & in true MJD fashion, he told everyone to draft him 1.01
Not sure how to link to it since i watch through my Sportsline’s fantasy league homepage, but it might be out there for public consumption. It’s a good interview.
And since some y’all convinced me to take him if I got the 1.01, that’s exactly what I did.

Have a superflex draft coming up with the #2 pick and I'm hoping #1 takes CMC. He ruined my season last year in my main league and for some reason I sensed the injuries coming as soon as he got paid and started living on Instagram with his model girlfriend.
Even without him CMC, I had a drafted team of Mahomes-Taylor-Montgomery-Ridley-Diontae but missed the playoffs as (statistically impossibly) I had a 4 week stretch that I scored the 2nd most points in the league every week but went 0-4 as I faced the week winner each week. Irrational I know but CMC will forever represent bad juju for me.

the FF goddess is a fickle, cruel, unpredictable, vindictive, sadistic, mean-spirited, conniving, cold, back-stabbing, ruthless harlot. but I still love her. she says she’s changed. this season.

I walk into every season with a clean slate. And if a player is healthy, I’ll evaluate their situation.
So though I didn’t get burned by Barkley last year, I’d be unlikely to take Barkley.
I was burned by Zeke - I would take Zeke.
I did take CMC.
Having a long memory in this game can cost ya points. It would suck if he got hurt again, sure. But part of why I drafted Zeke last year was his reliability. That…didn’t work out for me.

If it happens again this year then perhaps I’ll believe you

Finally my home league draft is today. I took CMC last year and still made the championship round. Because I took James Robinson in the 19th round.
But we drew straws and I got the 1.02. Dude at 1.01 put out a cryptic message saying he is going to shock the FF world tonight at 1.01.
I doubt it but we shall see.

Not too far-out there but Saquon Barkley WILL have another serious leg injury this season. Actually said this to my league mates during the draft last year. His injuries seem to be byproduct of how he runs/cuts. Whenever he makes a a move, his legs are planted while stretched out more than I see in other RBs. That both puts so much stress on joints and tendons and gives a leveraged target for defenders to hit. Also for whatever, he often seems to have one of his dangling in high and extended in the air during tackles.

Having a leg off the ground is an important part of the physical act of running.
C’mon.

You must have not read the "dangling high and extended in the air" part. Seriously, while being tackled he frequently has a leg raised in the air at a 45 degree angle.
C'mon.

I read it.
Barkley is a great runner. I don’t see anything in his style of running that contributed to his injury.
Respectfully, I disagree with your assessment & prophecy.

Could have fooled me with your facetious and patronizing response. You don't have to agree. History will prove who was in right in 4 months time.
Hot Sauce Guy

I wasn’t being patronizing at all. I just don’t see a legitimate analysis of Barkley there.
Good luck with your leagues.

You as well. And if I'm forced into taking CMC on Monday I'll be rooting for him with you every week.

Chubba is legit insurance.
I've been gobbling him up in best balls and even some deeper redrafts. Missed out on him in my dynasty, due to me heavily targeting Zach Wilson and Stevenson.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Probably a good idea.
Someone drafted Chubba super early in my redraft league, so nice job getting your handcuffs.
If CMC goes down it’ll like be a combo of Chubba & Royce Freeman, the latter of whom has been pretty terrible with the Broncos. Possible a change of scenery / offensive scheme is a better fit for Royce, but Chubba has looked very good this preseason. He’s the preferred handcuff IMO.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Chubba could well be that guy.
But as bas as he’s been, Freeman does have that NFL experience, likely understands advanced concepts, maybe better in short yardage due to his build.
The Panthers certainly felt Chubba wasn’t enough depth, so that’s worth noting.’
