Video: Week 7 RB Ranks: Ollie Gordon RB15? This week is GROSS
RB5, I got Christian McCaffrey going up against the Falcons. Hasn't maybe looked like prime CMC out there, but guess what? You take Mike Evans away from the equation and all of a sudden we're getting 10 targets going our our man's way again... they're force-feeding him inside the five-yard line. Only Josh Allen has more rushing touchdowns inside the five than CMC this year... 11 to zero in favor of Christian McCaffrey, guys, in terms of carries between him and Raheem Blackshear inside the 5-yard line.

RB5 with 10 targets/game; 11 goal-line carries vs 0 for backup; PPR cheat code

Ian Hartitz ranks McCaffrey as RB5 against the Falcons. With Mike Evans sidelined, McCaffrey is receiving 10 targets per game again. He remains one of only four RBs averaging 20-plus PPR points per game this season and is being force-fed inside the five-yard line, where he has 11 carries to Raheem Blackshear's zero—only Josh Allen has more rushing touchdowns inside the five. Hartitz projects McCaffrey will return to 20–25 combined carries and targets weekly, calling him "a PPR cheat code" and "a top five running back." McCaffrey played 85% of offensive snaps in Week 6, placing him among elite workhorses.
