Week 2 outlook

Must start in 10- and 12-team leagues

Projected 26.5 PPR points (23.3 half-PPR, 20.1 standard) vs MIA, RB1 this week. 2026: 10 carries and 8 targets in Week 1 (23.5% target share), 88 total yards, 0 TD. That is down from 2025, when he averaged 25.9 carries plus targets per game (24.5 PPR per game over 17 games, finished RB1); one game is a small sample. Listed DNP (Not injury related - resting player): projection cut from 29.4 to 26.5 PPR. MIA has allowed more fantasy points to RBs than average.

Sit Christian McCaffrey, the touches just aren't the same guy yet

10 carries is a rotational workload, not a bell cow week, even with 8 targets padding the PPR floor to 13.8 points. Last season he averaged 18.3 carries a game as the RB1 overall, so this is a real dip in the bread-and-butter usage, not a fluke game script. I want the carries back before I trust the ceiling again.
