What Do You Predict McCaffrey's Workload Will Be?

[GoobyPls]

No way in hell he gets 700 yards rushing unless Stewart gets hurt

I wonder what the single season record is for receiving yards for a RB. I bet McCaffrey will break it eventually

I don't know what the records are, but Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk both went over 1000 yards rushing and receiving in a season.  Craig in 1985 (1,050 rushing, 1,016 receiving) and Faulk in 1999 (1,381 rushing and 1,048 receiving)

entirely feasible if Stewart isn't healthy for the entire season, which he usually isn't.

The Pro Football Reference "play index" is an AWESOME NFL database

Here's your answer:  Marshall Faulk in 1999 had 1048 receiving yards.

For a rookie RB, the answer is Willie Snead

 

Not sure why Shockey & Larry Fitzgerald show up as RBs??

[Smithers]

I'm hoping he touches the ball once on every possession.  And that that 1 touch results in an offensive touchdown on every possession.

snead is a wr too right?

Yeah, I guess so, Duh, I'd forgotten that!   It looks like for his rookie year in 2015 PFR has him listed as FB/WR.  Weird. 

Of course, if CMC ends up getting more production in a WR role, it might be hard to know how to label him too. 

[Popsickle]

Not going to make a guess at yards, but I'd like to see him get the ball 10-15 times a game.

He will be on the field for 80% of offensive snaps in one form or another. 

I was getting ready to say that CMC will be on the field a good bit more than Stewart and will get quite a bit more touches. Probably about even on the carries for the first while but I can see CMC getting even more of those as the season progresses.

Reggie Bush's rookie season's production stat wise wasn't half bad even when splitting time with another good back. It's reasonable that McCaffrey gets similar production.

720 yards rushing on 10 attempts per game and 500 yards on 4 receptions per game.

Honestly we should use him exactly like the Steelers use Bell. They don't run him out wide, he just knows how to be available for dump offs and he picks up 8-10 yards, best of all he caught 75/94 targets which is insane
