re: Am I crazy for possibly picking McCaffery early in PPR/Keeper league

meh I don't think you invest the draft capital they did for a pure niche player.

I look at him in terms of touches Lester and I think his floor is 200. Of which I see as being more fantasy relevant than Lamar's typical 18 carries, 92 yds, no receptions or TDs game log

I don't fricking know Lester if it makes you happy you can put me down for somewhere between 1,200-1,300 total yards rushing and receiving being conservative

That does nothing for me I'm not sure why you're scared to just give me some predictions

I don't really care what it does for you Leslie

I'm really considering picking McCaffery at the end of the 1st/beginning of 2nd, assuming he is there. I just really think Carolina is going to throw to him a lot and he will catch a lot of passes his rookie year

I think you are taking him too early. The biggest threat to him is his own QB. Cam has never had touch on his short game so you are expecting him to perform better in that area. Cams first instinct isnt to dump the pass off. Its to run so he will be stealing TDs and would be passes there.

Jonathan Stewarts role is said to be the same as the primary back according to Riviera. CMAC stock could skyrocket in the preseason if he shows his potential. So there is a chance you might not get him at 12. He could end up being a Danny Woodhead in Carolina because Riverira is a defensive coach. Thts fine but is it worth that early first? Im not saying they wont use CMAC alot, but they dont seem like a team that could use him to the best of his abilities.

Olsen is still the primary target and they also drafted Curtis Samuel. No Rb has ever had more than 30 receptions in the last 5 years there. That obviously will change but by how much? Will he have more touches than Kamara with the Saints?

If you feel he is a cant miss pick at 12, grab him but we dont know how Carolina plans to use him. They are lining him up at WR so he will get touches and he is dangerous with his speed but can Cam get him the ball without having him run go patterns all day? We will have to see. They are changing the entire offense with the drafting of him and Samuel. That will take some time to develop. I would pass and grab Mixon or Kamara later.

Being as that your keeping Evans/Odell and are picking at the end of the draft, I would go with a WR in one of those two sandwich picks because you'd still possibly have another no.1 WR available at that point in the draft. You could end up with Nelson/Green/Cooper still there and that would give you 3 no.1's will the opportunity to still possible have a true no.1 RB in McCoy/Gordon/Howard there at the end of rd.1/rd.2. You could then trade one of those WR's later in the season as the RB picture shakes out more clear.
