Christian McCaffrey, RB

Christian McCaffrey has planted himself firmly into the lead running back role, contributing over 100-plus yards on the ground his last time out. Able to produce in both the pass and run games, McCaffrey can score fantasy points in a variety of ways.

The Giants are vulnerable to the run, giving up three touchdowns to New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara last week. Something they have surely focused on in practice this week, McCaffrey still holds an advantage due to his versatility.

Expect McCaffrey to find the end zone for the first time all season this week.
