Carolina Panthers fantasy football outlook for Week 12 at Dolphins

Christian McCaffrey – Carolina Panthers RB

Don’t take Christian McCaffrey for granted.

The All-Pro was the third-best running back in fantasy in Week 11 behind Jonathan Taylor’s 53 point bonanza against the Buffalo Bills and Austin Ekeler’s 41.50 point evening against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

McCaffrey had 119 yards from scrimmage and a nice touchdown reception which netted him a total of 24.90 fantasy points.

In the five full games McCaffrey has played, he’s only had a fantasy point total below 24 points once. That level of consistency is special and something that the Carolina Panthers will need from their primary weapon on offense once again at the Miami Dolphins – who run a blitz-heavy 3-4 scheme that can cause serious complications.

Start or Sit in Week 12?

START.

Miami’s run defense is stout but McCaffrey is just different. He remains the best dual-threat running back in the league and the Panthers will likely lean on the Stanford product heavily before giving him some vital rest during their bye.
