With the McCaffrey hype seemingly growing by the minute, which guys from the following list, if any, has McCaffrey surpassed on your draft board?

Jordan Howard
Jay Ajayi
Todd Gurley
Leonard Fournette
Isaiah Crowell
Lamar Miller

I could see him going ahead of the last 2...But I'll probably have him after everyone on that list.

Maybe Miller because he has ?s as well.

I'm always wary of Panthers RBs dating back to time share days of Deshaun Foster and Stephen Davis in early 2000s.

Unless Stewart tears his ACL and/or Riverboat Ron all of a sudden wants to throw to his backs 100 times in a season, I'm unsure if he'll give you that high of a return

it would depend on how my draft has set up through a few rounds. But straight up, prob none of those guys.


only guy im taking McCaffery ahead of that is going in front of him right now is Lynch


the guys going behind McCaffery im taking before him

Dalvin Cook
Ty Mont
Gillislee
Riddick (PPR)


I love McCaffery's talents but Newton's inability to be accurate in the short passing game has me worried, which i think is where a lot of people think he will gain his value.

None

McCaffrey will be lucky to break 150 carries this season

I'm so terrified to draft rookie starters. I've had a ton of bad luck in the past. Ameer Abdullah, tj yeldon, bishop sankey, and Paul Perkins to name a few. This year has a better looking crop but I'm still skeptical. The only one I'd go with in the 2nd is fournette

Stewart faces some blame there as he was woefully inefficient as a receiver

Possibly, but I've seen enough of cam to know he lacks touch on short passes as well. I know CMc will help that but still think it puts a cap on him

I think he's going to get more carries than he's getting credit for, certainly more upside than stew's 3yards and a cloud of dust

Still think he tops 1K total.


Probably 600-650 rushing, 500 receiving.

I have him right around 1000 too.

TDs might be hard to come by outside of big plays

Also keep in mind no RB has ever caught more than 27 balls with newton. He's just not adept in the short game

Dude looks really good.

Everyone thinks he only has value as a receiver but he can straight up run between the tackles as well.

comes from a pro style offense so its not like he's learning foreign concepts.

stewart may still have his role but you don't spend the capital they did to put him in a true split with jon fricking stewart
