Christian McCaffrey Expected To See Bigger Workload
6 years agoCarolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera doesn't see any reason why second-year running back Christian McCaffrey can't reach 200 carries after seeing 117 in his rookie season. He had 337 carries for 2,019 yards in 14 games in his second season at Stanford in 2015 in addition to 45 catches. As more of the change-of-pace back last year, McCaffrey managed to catch 80 passes for 651 yards. Even with C.J. Anderson now in the fold in Carolina, McCaffrey figures to be the featured back, which automatically should increase his carry load. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner's lead back had at least 200 carries in seven of his eight full seasons as an offensive coordinator. McCaffrey's fantasy price tag was already high, so be prepared to pay a second-round price for him.
