There is no bigger gamble in all of fantasy football in 2022 than the landing spot for Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey. He showed for 2 seasons why he should be the 1st overall pick in any and all drafts. The last 2 seasons, he showed why taking a small running back in the world of large men with bad intentions can kill a fantasy roster.
Below, we look at Christian McCaffrey’s'2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
In 2018-19, McCaffrey proved why elite running backs routinely dominate the 1st round of fantasy drafts. In 32 games, he rushed for 2,485 yards and 22 touchdowns, while pulling in 223 passes for 1,872 yards and 10 more TDs. If you had McCaffrey and didn’t win, you were mocked by your league mates for your ineptitude.
The last two seasons have been dismal -10 games and career lows in 2021 in both rushing and receiving yards per game. He is at a career crossroads and, by the looks of things, those making fantasy roster decisions are drinking the Kool-Aid.
