Carolina Panthers fantasy football picks for Week 2

Christian McCaffrey, RB

Despite the fumble, Christian McCaffrey continues to be a focal point of the Panthers offense and will likely increase his role due to Olsen’s absence. McCaffrey was the team’s leading receiver and ball carrier (not named Cam Newton) in Week 1 and may see even more targets moving forward.

The production of fellow running back Anderson, also allows the team to feel more confident with both on the field at the same time. Doing so would allow Newton to operate with a power back and dynamic playmaker each at his disposal.

Don’t let the offensive line issues worry you when it comes to McCaffrey. He has the ability to impact a game from a variety of different areas on the field and with Norv Turner designing plays to help Newton get rid of the football, it means even more quick-hitting routes for McCaffrey.
