Christian McCaffrey "A Full Go" To Start The Season
3 years agoCarolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is a full go to start the season. McCaffrey missed 13 games last year due to injuries but is "full speed and ready to go physically and mentally," per head coach Matt Rhule. That's not particularly surprising, as the Panthers had said that the star halfback would handle a full workload as he had in seasons past, though it's still music to fantasy managers' ears to hear the coaching staff reiterate his good health. Rhule added that the team needs to get the 25-year-old involved early on against New York. With the Panthers currently 5-point home favorites, McCaffrey is slated for around 20-plus touches against a Jets defense that was very giving to opposing receiving backs last season. A Week 1 RB1 finish is certainly within the realm of possibilities, making McCaffrey a must-start in all formats.
