Christian McCaffrey Could Have Monster Game Thursday Night
3 years agoCarolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is poised for a monster game in Week 3 against the Texans. The Panthers made it clear that they were going to utilize McCaffrey just as often following his injury-filled 2020 season, and they have done just that, entrusting him with 30 touches in Week 1 and another 29 in Week 2. The star halfback has exceeded the 130-scrimmage yard mark in each of the games- and should have no trouble doing so against a Texans defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to running backs through two weeks, after allowing the second-most last year. McCaffrey is a set-it-and-forget-it RB1 in Week 3.
