Why are we playing dusty ass CMC? Cuz he's projected for like a billion points. Is it a death sentence to fade CMC? I mean, I think it's probably fine. I like Kenneth Walker more than CMC.

Chalk cash play with high projections; fade is viable but not optimal.

Davis Mattek includes Christian McCaffrey in the chalk cash DFS lineup—the consensus build most establish-the-run users will play in Week 4 cash contests. Despite questioning why they're 'playing dusty ass CMC,' Mattek notes McCaffrey is 'projected for like a billion points,' indicating high projection confidence overrides skepticism about current form. Mattek also expresses that fading McCaffrey is 'probably fine' and 'not that bad,' suggesting the fade is viable but McCaffrey remains a core play. However, Mattek prefers Kenneth Walker over McCaffrey in some lineup constructions, indicating McCaffrey is less optimal than alternatives in certain spots.
