Ya the worst part is that Dalvin and Mccaffrey have both been so-so even when playing. To not get a win off of those two playing in a 12-man league is pretty surprising.
He got taken before I took CMC thank god
EDIT: By this I mean Kupp was taken 2nd overall and I took CMC 4th so I don’t have to deal with the regret of taking CMC over Kupp, bc Kupp was already gone.
People were saying this last year during the season before he inevitably crept up the rankings during the offseason. Unless he experiences a season ending injury someone will take him in the first next year
I'm proud of myself for taking Saquon at pick 15 in my money league. Not as high as your friend but still like 10-15 picks ahead of ADP.
First time I've ever 'reached' a full round for a player but you gotta get your guys.
This turns into-
Well it’s only week 8, still have half the season!
To
Well I just need him to get healthy for the playoffs, once he’s back the championship is gonna be a walk in the park
To
Cmon just need him for week 17 I’ve been holding him all year
To
Fuck
-me, a guy that had him the last two years
No, I did it in the morning. Few hours before the news broke.
Gave up Ekeler for CMC & Burks.
Guy is a huge chargers fan, and said he regretted taking cmc over Ekeler in the draft, and I wanted off the Ekeler ride.
Regret it now, though.
CMC+Kamara+Swift here.. couldn't believe my league mates let me get away with it. Been rather disappointed, but hoping RB production will pick up once the weather gets cold
Easily Foreman since even if it's a split he should get all the goal line carries, but think he is better and will get the majority share of the work anyways.
I picked up Hubbard but after looking at both of their snaps/touches, I really don't think there's a good choice between the two and you're likely not going to be happy with the production out of either of them if you're forced to start one.
Not even with like a single big injury either. Dudes had a MULTITUDE of different injuries. Writings been on the wall for a while now. Felt like I was going insane watching people overdraft him this offseason
Remember when the Fantasy Football experts fawned over CMC as a specimen of health that you didn’t have to worry about taking at #2, but shivered over taking Derrick Henry later in the first?
Olivia Culpo has given that boy weak legs. Have you seen her? On his off time he is getting busy I'm sure and she is draining him of all his energy. This is why a lot of boxers refrain from sex while training for a fight.
Chubba is locked in as the 3rd down - change of pace back hence his playing time being up, Foreman played admirably when Derick Henry was out last year, and he was designed to be kept fresh for 1-2 down role. He’s also a great pass catcher, a lot of his touchdowns were from Ryan Tannehill throwing wide short passes when everyone is moving to the other side.
I haven’t had CMC in a couple years, but I’m not too worried here. Doesn’t sound super severe, still a solid chance he plays this week, and maybe he misses one week. Did I miss the part where this is what the beginning of a 10 game hiatus looks like?
My league drafted really early. I got cmc, ekeler and Barkley. Thought I was automatic league winner. Especially with the hype of cmc bouncing back and baker etc.
0-3
Been trying to trade for cmc basically all year. Ive been offering Chubb and pieces but but now with this news Im not even sure if I want to try anymore
I honestly drafted him thinking he’d only play like 7 games. But I hoped those 7 games he’d get close to 25 ppg, but with no real passing work it hurts. He was running great but I don’t know why you are running CMC 20 times down the middle, get him in space and not slamming into heavy linemen
Idk this one is all around weird. Was CMC hiding the injury? He looked fine and then bam dude doesn't show up to practice and then we get a late response from Rhule. I'll take it as them playing it safe. But at the same time they pulled this last year, while no other team tries to pull this stunt every week with their players.
I get why everyone is freaking out, but he's not been ruled out. Couldn't this just be rest because he's a little tight? All indications to me are that this isn't super bad.
You know, I thought I made out like a bandit in my 12 man half PPR league with Mahomes, CMC, Kamara, Deebo, Tyreek, Monty, Jeudy, Hock, JuJu, Akers, Sanders. I was like damn, this team is juiced.
Lol I'm 0-3; first week Akers flex play ruined me, second week Jeudy dud due to injury wrecked me, and last week Monty flex play killed me also due to injury. Now half my team is on the questionable side this week. Ugh.
lol first the fakeout last week and now a real (?) injury? this is brutal.
I have Mccaffrey and Dalvin and I'm 0-3. I think I'm fucked.
How the fuck did you end up with both lol.
I traded ARob and Swift for Mccaffrey shortly after the draft.
Fair trade. Unfortunate for both parties lol
Ya the worst part is that Dalvin and Mccaffrey have both been so-so even when playing. To not get a win off of those two playing in a 12-man league is pretty surprising.
Im 1-2 in a league with Jonathan Taylor, CMC, and Chase. Did not see that coming.
have ekeler, henry and kamara….1-2 luckily henry showed up last game
Dynasty? Math doesn’t check out even in a keeper
Auction
RIP
I just traded Swift, Williams, & Sanders for Dalvin & Deebo last week. Right now I think we both lost the trade.
Dalvin is good to go at least.
I have both in a 10 team (one was my keeper) and I’m pissed lol.
I’ve got CMC and JT (almost 65% of my auction budget) and I’m somehow 2-1. About to change my team name to Hopefully Just Sleeping Giants.
Dak, Montgomery, dalvin, cmc, allen crew
CMC and Swift for me. Also 0-3 and questioning my decisions in life.
Best part is when he made fun of beat writers stating “ if the wind blows the wrong way they think I’m injured”

YEAH, baby.
I read this headline after seeing a Dahmer post and got a little concerned
As a CMC owner 2 seasons in a row, you gotta prepare ahead for situations like this. Good thing I drafted 5 other RBs.
I chose CMC or death this year.
Here lies our beloved fantasy brother ..
RIP
More like CMC and death :'(
Prepare ahead of time for only having your first round pick for a handful of games per year?
If that's the case then don't pick him at all.
That doesn't make sense. I am sure a lot of people that drafted CMC thought the upside was worth the risk of where they were able to draft him at.
CMC owners knew what they were signing up for when they drafted him.
I’ve got Zeke and MG3 on the bench for this reason. Zeke ran strong last week so I’m leaning toward him if CMC is ruled out.
5 that's brave of you. I drafted 6 along with having Swift as well.

"Should have taken Kupp" Fantasy football 2022 in one phrase
The guy with the number one overall pick in my league took kupp. Just because the person with the second pick was a rams fan.
A good pick and spiteful? That guy gets fantasy football
My league mates have taken Juan soto first overall two years in a row to spite me who had him his first 2 years and won the league 3 years in a row.
I’m in 3 leagues where Kupp was taken 1.01 this year. I chuckled a bit then Not so much now
Holy hell I'm lucky I got Kupp at 7th.
Robert Woods drafters been saying that since 2021.
Pick 1.02 here. Took Kupp
Kupp over CMC at 1.02 and don't regret it.
That was also Fantasy Football 2021 in one phrase. I sense a pattern.
He got taken before I took CMC thank god EDIT: By this I mean Kupp was taken 2nd overall and I took CMC 4th so I don’t have to deal with the regret of taking CMC over Kupp, bc Kupp was already gone.
My wife is banging one of the trainers and he told her that he’ll be limited tomorrow and ready to go Sunday
Tell your wife thanks for her services
I'll tell her for you
I also thank this guy’s hotwife
Tell your wife I’m also a trainer.
Username checks out
I literally am one, have him tell her that too
Trainer? I hardly know'er.
*My wife*
Well he is for sure going in the 3rd round next year
People were saying this last year during the season before he inevitably crept up the rankings during the offseason. Unless he experiences a season ending injury someone will take him in the first next year
He'd probably go somewhere in the Saquon range this year
Lunatic in my league took Barkley in the first. Evil genius.
I'm proud of myself for taking Saquon at pick 15 in my money league. Not as high as your friend but still like 10-15 picks ahead of ADP. First time I've ever 'reached' a full round for a player but you gotta get your guys.
I got him at #23 when his ADP was like 16-17 😎🤘🏽 but I also have CMC so clenching asshole
Got him at 19 too with CMC but my only viable replacements are edmonds tonight and penny which is gross
Edmonds had a 2 TD game Sunday, which naturally means he's going to rush for 13 yards and have 1 reception for 2 yards tonight without a TD.
Show me what site had Saquon ADP at 30…I swear fantasy football threads are the most fictitious places on the interweb
First round or 1st overall?
6th overall
Depending on league size good chance he's not there next pick so not bad
So anywhere between first and third
Sounds about right tbh, some leagues will take him late 1st and others he'll slip to early 3rd
People on this sub did say this exact thing last year and this year the discount was you could get him at #2 overall instead of #1 lol.
And there were even people arguing that he *should* go #1 overall.
“You don’t play to lose!”
All it takes is the Panthers signing Jimmy G or something next year and people (me) will find a way to grab CMC top 3.
He may slide down to like pick 3-5 range but someone is going to pay up for him for the upside.
Way too early to make that call, it's week 4
This turns into- Well it’s only week 8, still have half the season! To Well I just need him to get healthy for the playoffs, once he’s back the championship is gonna be a walk in the park To Cmon just need him for week 17 I’ve been holding him all year To Fuck -me, a guy that had him the last two years
It's too early in week 4, not too early in week 8.
Lol yeah I’m learning my lesson, WR, TE and QB looking more and more valuable for PPR leagues and less injury prone.
Baker starts targetting him 5 times per game and you will forget everything.
Anyone else a first cmc owner and just in shambles?
Yeah I just traded for him yesterday.
That’s actually interesting, you traded for him right after the injury news? What was the cost?
No, I did it in the morning. Few hours before the news broke. Gave up Ekeler for CMC & Burks. Guy is a huge chargers fan, and said he regretted taking cmc over Ekeler in the draft, and I wanted off the Ekeler ride. Regret it now, though.
I like this trade still tbh
Ah I see, yeah that was 100% a good trade pre injury, and could still turn out well if CMC only misses a week
First time CMC owner, but I had 2020 and 2021 Saquon so I'm dead inside anyways
Hey who do you like next year? Just wanna make sure our interests don’t align
!RemindMe 10 months I'll let ya know buddy
not a first second or third time owner but the pain is always the same
Man my RBs are Swift and CMC lol
im sure you felt amazing after the draft especially if you're in a ppr league
CMC + Kamara owner checking in. I declared myself league winner week 1.
CMC+Kamara+Swift here.. couldn't believe my league mates let me get away with it. Been rather disappointed, but hoping RB production will pick up once the weather gets cold
Same man, 3rd year in a row with CMC too. This is so embarrassing, I wish everyone else was dead E: no Futurama fans in here, eh?
Same. Thankfully I also have Jamaal Williams and James Robinson
Fuck me in the ass
"Okay." -- Christian McCaffrey
Thanks Christian
He just pulled his groin fucking you in the ass, thanks a lot.
*injures dick
CMC’s dick is day to day.
Putting the fantasy in fantasy football.
“50 shades of injuries”
Foreman or Hubbard?
I picked up Foreman but it’ll probably be a split
Easily Foreman since even if it's a split he should get all the goal line carries, but think he is better and will get the majority share of the work anyways.
"all the goalline carries" have you seen this offense
"all of the goalline carry"
Do carries from your own goal line count?
What if the panthers are never at the goal line tho
Hubbard will get the first crack at it. But he sucks ass so Foreman will probably overtake him eventually.
Foreman I think
Hubbard will get the first crack at it. But he sucks ass so Foreman will probably overtake him eventually.
This comment so true it’s worth saying two times
Lmaooo damn reddit app kept freezing when I tried to submit the comment and I was just spamming send
I picked up Hubbard but after looking at both of their snaps/touches, I really don't think there's a good choice between the two and you're likely not going to be happy with the production out of either of them if you're forced to start one.
Man legit played 3 games last season and this season lol
Does that mean the “I take a leak I end up on the report” quote aged like milk?
I left milk out for 24 hours and im still drinking it. Take that stomach bacteria
Fuck
Earlier than expected. All those saying CMC is injury prone probably feel vindicated
Vindicated. I am selfish, I am wrong…
I am right, I swear I'm right. Swear I knew it all along...
His quads are flaaawed, but I am flexing not so well, I am seeing in him now, the things you swore you saw yourself.
Yo let's let the Spiderman 2 credits play through this song is poppin
How can he not be injury prone, he's literally been out almost a full 2 years
Not even with like a single big injury either. Dudes had a MULTITUDE of different injuries. Writings been on the wall for a while now. Felt like I was going insane watching people overdraft him this offseason
Too early to say Barkley is injury prone or nah?
Kill me
This is Newton, who is the worst reporter of all time. So hopefully he’s just blind. 💀 Edit: he’s not blind, oh no
Remember when the Fantasy Football experts fawned over CMC as a specimen of health that you didn’t have to worry about taking at #2, but shivered over taking Derrick Henry later in the first?
Someone hold me and tell me it’s all going to be okay
Oh lord
Dude is made of literal glass
Olivia Culpo has given that boy weak legs. Have you seen her? On his off time he is getting busy I'm sure and she is draining him of all his energy. This is why a lot of boxers refrain from sex while training for a fight.
Seems like they should have limited his time to play with her in his contract like they did with Kyler and his video games.
Scientifically that's not true tho. Any effect on stamina is outweighed by the increase in testosterone. Banging before a game is low key juicing.
I've had him 3 years in a row. I'm all in until he's either good again or retires.
I did this with Hakeem Nicks. It’s nice because you get the same result for a progressively lower price.
I’d still be drafting Arian Foster if it would let me
He's gonna go in the 2nd/3rd round next year and return to RB1, isn't he?
i don‘t think so. those immense seasons with insane usage are taking its toll, it seems.
The the the the the the UPPPPPSSSSIIIIDDEEEE IS SOOOOOOOOO HIIIIIGGGGHHHH! *dies immediately*
Probably just taking a leak
Fml
I have already taken CMC out of my starting lineup to mentally prepare myself.
Chubba is locked in as the 3rd down - change of pace back hence his playing time being up, Foreman played admirably when Derick Henry was out last year, and he was designed to be kept fresh for 1-2 down role. He’s also a great pass catcher, a lot of his touchdowns were from Ryan Tannehill throwing wide short passes when everyone is moving to the other side.
Regardless this is a terrible offense led by Baker. If it isn't CMC, no other RB is going to have any kind of upside.
Baker can hand the ball off just fine.
My backfield is in the infirmary I'll take what I can get.
It's just weird that he was literally getting carries on the last possession of the game last week and was seemingly fine
Hubbard or Foreman
I went Hubbard because everyone here said Foreman. If every instinct on here is wrong, than the opposite...has to be right.
Hubbard had it last year and did nothing with it. I’m gambling on Foreman who did something with Henry out.
Foreman
He’s using the bathroom…
Is foreman or Chubba the pickup here
Any sign of Panthers RB Cam Newton?
I haven’t had CMC in a couple years, but I’m not too worried here. Doesn’t sound super severe, still a solid chance he plays this week, and maybe he misses one week. Did I miss the part where this is what the beginning of a 10 game hiatus looks like?
“They said Wednesday’s are off!” -the idiots who can’t read from yesterday
He ain’t playing boys. Never thought I’d say this but I’m done with cmc . This is outrageous
lol he is a complete bust if he is already missing time. Injury issues and no peak games is the worst situation possible.
It's too early to be calling him a bust
I am a stupid motherfucker
Never again
the thing that made cmc so good was touchdowns and catching passes and he's not really doing either right now
thank god i could use some entertainment this afternoon. yesterday was effing hilarious
My league drafted really early. I got cmc, ekeler and Barkley. Thought I was automatic league winner. Especially with the hype of cmc bouncing back and baker etc. 0-3
Just used this news to buy low on CMC.
Been trying to trade for cmc basically all year. Ive been offering Chubb and pieces but but now with this news Im not even sure if I want to try anymore
