CMC will have a day

It is not too often that a feat like this can be put at the bottom of a list. However, Christian McCaffrey rushing for over 100 yards and making big plays has become routine.  Against a Giants defense that has struggled against the run this season, his trend of success should continue.

New York has allowed 504 rushing yards and 4.8 yards per carry, ranking them No. 25 in the National Football League. Allowing 126.9 yards per contest, that puts them No. 29 in the league. Opportunities will be there for McCaffrey to work his magic. To this point in the year, CMC has 271 rushing yards on 46 carries. That breaks down to 5.9 yards per carry.

I would expect him to have another big game on Sunday. Ever since Norv Turner has come to town McCaffrey has blossomed. As long as the former gets the ball early and often, he should be in line for another big game. I could see him getting anywhere from 105-115 yards and continue to pace the offense as he has done in the first couple of games.
