2022 Fantasy Outlook
For the second straight year, injuries derailed what might have been a tremendous season for
McCaffrey. The 25-year-old played seven games in 2021 and only saw more than 40 snaps in
four of them, but in those four contests he averaged 4.8 yards per carry and over 150
scrimmage yards per game. McCaffrey remains the premier pass-catching back in the league
while still being dangerous on the ground, and those skills were still in evidence last year. His
2.3 yards per carry after contact was comparable to the likes of Javonte Williams and Aaron
Jones, and McCaffrey broke a tackle every 8.3 carries on average, a better rate than Nick
Chubb or Najee Harris, albeit with much less volume. None of the injuries McCaffrey has
sustained appear to be chronic, so it's possible his luck will turn for the better in 2022. The
Panthers added D'Onta Foreman in the offseason to give them another depth option aside from Chuba Hubbard, who didn't impress as a rookie, but if McCaffrey is on the field he'll still dominate the backfield touches and snaps. Apart from health, his biggest concern at this point is
the overall quality of the Carolina offense with either Baker Mayfield at quarterback. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Lone bright spot on offense
McCaffrey (calf) rushed 15 times for 84 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-7 playoff loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
McCaffrey also attempted a pass after both of San Francisco's active quarterbacks were injured -- but unlike his lone pass attempt that went for a touchdown earlier this season -- this one fell for an incompletion. The multi-talented back provided an early spark when he pinballed off multiple defenders for a long touchdown run in the first quarter, but he faced stacked boxes in the second half playing virtually without a quarterback. McCaffrey had an excellent regular season (1,880 total yards and 14 combined touchdowns) to complement his strong playoff run, and he played in every game for the first time since 2019. He was a great fit in San Francisco and remains under contract next year, which should have the fantasy stud near the top of draft boards ahead of next season

After not missing a game through his first three NFL seasons and seeing heavy workloads in the last two, McCaffrey signed a big contract extension last summer and promptly broke down. Ankle, shoulder and thigh injuries limited him to only three weeks of action in 2020, and while he scored six touchdowns in those three contests and was still his usual electric self when he was on the field, it was not what Carolina expected when it made him the highest-paid running back in the league. When he's in top form, McCaffrey is an elite pass-catching option out of the backfield who is tough for defenders to get their hands on in the open field, and new head coach Matt Rhule showed no hesitation in using his superstar at the goal line, as all six of McCaffrey's TDs came from inside the 10-yard line. His per-game workload was essentially the same as his usage under the previous regime, and none of last year's injuries appear to be long-term concerns. The Panthers also did little to add backfield depth apart from fourth-round pick Chuba Hubbard, a strong indication McCaffrey will once again handle the type of role that could lead to 400-plus touches if he plays 15 or 16 games.
