Carolina Panthers OC Norv Turner told the press that he "agrees it is realistic" that RB Christian McCaffrey draws 25-to-30 touches per game in 2018. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

This isn't the first time we've heard rumors stating that McCaffrey could nearly double his touches in 2018. Prior to the start of training camp, HC Ron Rivera said the second-year rusher could see 25-to-30 touches per game. However, with C.J. Anderson slated as the RB2 and coming off of his best season in recent memory, I believe that many touches consistently is a longshot. Though, even if he garners around 18-to-22 TPG, he'll likely see a respectable spike in his fantasy production. McCaffrey has middling RB1 upside in PPR scoring formats in 2018 and I'm targeting him ahead of LeSean McCoy, Jerick McKinnon and Joe Mixon,
