2. Christian McCaffrey

Christian McCaffrey is going to be productive. He is one of the best running backs in the league because of his elite ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and carry the load offensively. Against the Raiders, it took him a few series to get going but he finished with 23 carries for 97 yards and two touchdowns.

McCaffrey added three catches for 38 yards. against Tampa Bay, the Panthers will have to score points. They will play an up-tempo game in hopes of keeping the Tampa Bay defense off balance.

This game plan will need McCaffrey to touch the ball a lot over the course of the game. There is no reason for the Panthers to keep him under 25 touches. Many of these could come right away in the first half.

When you have a player like McCaffrey, you expect him to perform in every game. In a division matchup like this, he will have to be that elite level, best running back in football.
