This was expected for McCaffrey, who needs another week to recover from an AC Joint sprain. It's the eighth game he'll miss this season. The Panthers will again turn to Mike Davis as their lead back with McCaffrey sidelined. Davis is a plug-in RB2 against a Lions defense that's allowing the third-most rushing yards in the league.

Faust 5,013 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Quote Panthers coach Matt Rhule said he's still considering Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) week-to-week. With Carolina's bye right around the corner in Week 13, fantasy players should continue preparing as if McCaffrey won't be back on the field until December 13 in Week 14. Mike Davis, who handled 21 of Carolina's 29 backfield touches on Sunday, will continue starting in the interim. It's still plausible the organization chooses to preserve its locked-up star and simply hold McCaffrey out for the rest of the season.

There is 6 months to get healthy, and I'd want to see what my offense looks like with all the starters. Maybe if the guy had the same injury over and over and over again? But CMC has had 2 very random unrelated injuries. I'm surprised he's been out this long. An AC joint is typically a 1-2 week injury, and often played through. Its been really unfortunate for people who took CMC at #1, because it was 100% the right pick. He's been the best player in fantasy when he's played. Small sample size, but he's actually been more effective this season than in 2019. Hopefully, he's back in week 14 for playoff runs, football is more fun when he's playing.

Neither are guaranteed to play in Week 12, but it seems that Bridgewater has an easier path between the two as Pelissero described McCaffrey's status as "up in the air." It's worth noting that the Panthers have a bye in Week 13, so there's some incentive to sit these players to get them back in December at full health.

There are no meaningless games, only people with skewed perceptions in their own mind. Now if a player is hurt then they sit. If cleared, the best players play. Like someone said earlier, you build momentum going into the offseason to start with an excitement going in next year. He'll play and I believe he'll play well. CMC may give owners a nice little treat coming down the stretch. If he gets hurt, he does. My question is can I afford to hang onto Davis during the bye week.

In fact his 2020 PPG pace is higher than any RB in history. The people who took him #1 overall absolutely made the right pick. Bad luck he got hurt, but he's not the reason anyone missed the playoffs. Could have easily gone 3-0 in the games he did play. He's the easy RB1 overall whenever he plays.

The 24-year-old was listed as questionable prior to Carolina's bye and will presumably return at full health with an extra week of rest now under his belt. It's possible the Panthers limit McCaffrey whenever he returns to the field, but his usage in his last game against the Chiefs — 71% of Carolina's snaps, 10 targets and 18-of-19 backfield carries — suggests otherwise. He'll return as the overall RB1 the moment he's announced active again. SOURCE: David Newton on Twitter Dec 7, 2020, 1:35 PM ET Quote Link to post Share on other sites
