Summary

Christian McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in the league when it comes to fantasy production. He is an accomplished rusher and receiver who is heavily involved in the Panthers offense. A high ankle sprain, shoulder ailment, and quad injury hampered his path in 2020 which limited him to only three games. A hamstring injury which was later re-injured, slowed his return to prominence in 2021. Despite being a well-conditioned athlete, injuries have hampered him in back-to-back seasons. He will be 26 in June and his time as an elite weapon in the league appears to be finite. Still, if McCaffrey can elude injuries he stands to be one of the top fantasy running backs in the league due to his high talent both as a rusher and receiver. At peak, he can accumulate fantasy points that would rival that of two positions. In terms of production scarcity, few can do what he does. If he can manage to be effective as a rusher and receiver, and also score touchdowns, he will find himself at or near the top of the fantasy food chain once again.

Christian McCaffrey won't change positions

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said the team will not move RB Christian McCaffrey from tailback to the slot. 'We can always move him around and utilize him, but at the end of the day, he's a back,' Rhule said. 'You can do a lot of things with Christian, but to take him out of the backfield, to me, is taking him out of what he does best. We'll keep him at tailback.'
