Christian McCaffrey Won't See Big Increase In Carries
6 years agoCarolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey isn't expected to see a huge increase in carries with C.J. Anderson in the lead role as the traditional back. After all, McCaffrey had just 3.7 yards per carry on 117 attempts in his rookie season on the ground. Where he'll make up for it, though, is through the air, where he caught 80 pases for 651 yards and five touchdowns. He could see those numbers rise in offensive coordinator Norv Turner's system. Last year's numbers on the ground will likely be McCaffrey's ceiling, but he's obviously still very valuable in point-per-reception leagues.
