Christian McCaffrey
Christian McCaffrey should without a doubt be the top Carolina Panthers player you take. He was a fantasy machine last year. His combination of pass-catching out of the backfield, and his tremendous running season made it possible. Now in his third year, he should be able to continue to provide that same spark for the majority of fantasy teams.
Last year, CMC was ranked 14th overall in ESPN’s fantasy football rankings. This year, he is ranked highly. He is third overall in Eric Karabell’s top 100 overall for the 2019 season. In Mike Clay’s PPR Top 300 rankings, he is the third overall player on the list. He is the third overall running back in Eric Berry’s rankings as well. The bottom line is, you should absolutely take them if he is available. He is ranked very highly.
Between his 867 rushing yards and 1,098 receiving yards, he is a dual-threat back in every sense of the word. He should be thought of highly in fantasy football drafts this year. If he is available, take him. He would instantly make your team better. The fact that he is able to do multiple things is a tremendous asset. He should be able to get fantasy football owners a lot of points on Sunday for the second year in a row.
