CMC

[JagFan 164]

I heard this afternoon on SXM that CMC is battling tendinitis in his Achilles again…same as last year this time.  Not finding any corroborating info online.  You all hearing anything?

Haven't heard anything but positive vibes around McCaffrey.

Thanks Mike.  It was Jeff Ratcliffe talking about it.

I remember reading something of this too.  I got no link.  dont remember where I read it.   I couldnt even tell you if it was a reputable source.

it was on my list of things to research as draft day approached. I'm drafting late in nearly all  my keeper leagues so even if hes left unprotected its unlikely he would fall to me.  so for that reason I didn't really follow up on this report to see if there is any merit to it.

McCaffrey's Mom says McCaffrey is her favorite player and she would draft him #1.

Ok, that’s pretty dang funny!

he's the ultimate league winner, league loser pick right now. If he is 80% of prime CMC, getting him near the end of round 1, start of round 2 is robbery. If the issues crop up, you'll be in a tremendous hole considering the other really good options available in that area. He's going too low for his upside but too high for his risk. The risk alone should have him probably going after JT, Kyren and such.  Of course if you go the CMC route, you can do you best to ensure you draft Guerrendo.

100%.

if you're a gambler, this is the ultimate fantasy football bet.

but I'd say if there is a player out there that gives you a 30% chance to win the championship.  most people will roll the dice.   Normally I'd give him 50-60%% but there are reports hes nursing some sort of injury.  These health issues lingering dont bode well for a player who already has a bit of a bad injury history.   so I'm dropping that to 30%   I am fully willing to revise if a report comes out confirming he is fully healthy.   but I think this is where he is at.    given risks, he should be a 2nd round pick but He likely goes late in round 1 to someone who maybe doesnt place a lot of weight on injury risk

doesn't seem prudent.  while CMC could lead even standard scoring leagues in ppg, so much of his value is as a receiver... plus there are backs who can easily produce as much or more than him who don't have his wear and tear (Bijan, Gibbs)

By all means if you pick 2nd and Barkely is gone, pick CMC. He might win you your league.... Just seems like a weird risk when there are younger, fresher, just as productive options available.

I have Gibbs third, and Robinson fourth.
