Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey and WR D.J. Moore caught punts during Panthers practice Friday, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. “Wherever they want to put me is where I’m gonna be,” McCaffrey said. “So whether it’s punt return, kickoffs, I don’t really care where it is. If they want me on the field, I’m gonna be there.”

Head coach Matt Rhule said he wanted to get the two reps in case the team needed a home-run threat with a game on the line.

McCaffrey may be pushing through another ceiling in terms of fantasy, especially if your league allows for return yards and touchdowns. CMC and Moore are dynamic talents with lofty expectations heading into the 2020 season. Any boost is accepted here.

Pass-catching back James White will also have a heavy role and could be in for a monster year if quarterback Cam Newton wins the starting job, considering the way Newton wore out Christian McCaffrey during their time together with the Panthers.

The story was mostly about Michel and the uncertainty around his foot injury. He's on the PUP list and may remain there into the season, missing the first six games. The story added all eyes will be on Harris who has been hurt by injuries but the team still seems high on him coming from Alabama and playing in the SEC, according to the story. We rank White the highest among the New England backs but the thinking is White will only have flex value in PPR leagues. But based on this story, White maybe ends up with a bigger role.
