Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is one of the NFL’s few bell-cow players.
It's not even a debate anymore.
Last season, McCaffrey ranked first in snaps, 10th in carries, first in targets, and third in total touches among all running backs. His 966 snaps and 124 targets were both the second-most by a running back in the last 15 years behind only Matt Forte's marks in 2014. McCaffrey will likely play fewer snaps in 2019 for the Panthers but isn’t expected to see a decrease in usage.
In addition to the elite volume, McCaffrey was also extremely efficient with the workload he received in 2018.
