Through two games Christian McCaffrey’s 20 receptions rank second in the NFL behind the Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas. CMC’s impressive total is due to his 14 receptions against the Falcons in Week 2. The Ringer pointed out that mark matched the most receptions by a running back in a game since 1999. While it’s not realistic to expect McCaffrey to continue averaging 10 receptions per game over the course of a 16-game season James Color Rush Bradberry Jersey , he could still very well challenge the single season receptions record for a running back of 102 set by Matt Forte in 2014. In order to break Forte’s record, McCaffrey will need to haul in 83 receptions over the next 14 games, or just above 5.9 receptions per contest. As a rookie last year he averaged 5.0 receptions per game (80 catches in 16 games) and bumping last year’s average up by one reception per outing for the remainder of the season could definitely happen. Here’s why:He’s playing more snapsLast year McCaffrey was on the field for 70.2% of the Panthers offensive plays. Through two games this season he’s played in 89.6% of the team’s offensive snaps. In 2017 the Panthers offense ran just over 1,000 plays from scrimmage, and if McCaffrey is on the field for about 20% more of those plays this year, he will see around 200 more snaps. Both Ron Rivera and new offensive coordinator Norv Turner have said they want to increase his workload in 2018 and thus far they have been true to their word.The Norv Turner effectSpeaking of Turner Ian Thomas Jersey , he’s a game planner who knows who to use versatile running backs. As offensive coordinator in Dallas he coaxed 59 receptions out of Emmett Smith in 1992. As Washington’s head coach in 2000, running back Larry Centers led the team with 81 receptions. As head coach of the Chargers from 2007-2012 he coached LaDanian Tomlinson to 60 receptions (2007), Darren Sproles to 86 (2011), and even Mike Tolbert to 54 (also in 2011). Turner likes to feature running backs in the passing game. What other options does Cam have? This point is a bit more depressing to Panthers fans, but there have been multiple pass plays when McCaffrey is Cam Newton’s only option because no other receiver is open. As CSR’s Erik Sommers has expertly pointed out, all of Carolina’s receivers Curtis Samuel Color Rush Jersey , minus Jarius Wright, are “dropping passes, running sloppy or wrong routes, and generally just looking confused out there.” McCaffrey will likely be the first, best, and sometimes only receiving option until Greg Olsen hopefully returns in 4-5 weeks.Between his increased workload Daeshon Hall Jersey , Turner’s game plans, and the Panthers questionable wide receiver corps, I wouldn’t be surprised if McCaffrey breaks the record of 102 receptions by a running back this season. The next 14 games will tell if “Deuce Deuce” becomes the new “No. 1”. Carolina’s next road trip is a Week 6 contest against the Washington football team. They are not the scariest match-up on paper, but Cincinnati taught us last week that not every tiger is what it seems. Washington is going to be a tougher game than you might expect.You’re going to hear a lot in these columns about trap games. 2018 is full of them. The idea is the team could get caught looking past one opponent because a tougher one is on the horizon. Week 7, for example, is another trip north. The Panthers will face the reigning Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles — a team which handed the Panthers a bitterly close loss last year. I don’t think that will be the case with this game.Alex Smith is the former 1st overall pick turned average journeyman game manager that everyone who isn’t honest with themselves thinks Cam Newton should be. He can run a little and he can throw short and intermediate balls pretty well Trai Turner Color Rush Jersey , but he’s not known for leading heroic fourth quarter comebacks or striking fear into the hearts of defenses with his deep ball accuracy. He shouldn’t be a game breaking concern.Adrian Peterson is no longer the guy that wins games all by himself. He has lost a step in his old age. Even if he hadn’t, the Panthers have traditionally done very well defending against him. His best game against them required 20 carries to total 84 yards and a single touchdown in 2011. That was three careers ago for most running backs.If it seems weird to you that I am pointing out all of the reasons why Washington shouldn’t be frightening in a column that is supposed to point out all of the reasons why Washington is frightening then you may have forgotten who their opponent is in Week 6. This is exactly the kind of team that Carolina would lose to. Their kryptonite is middle-of-the-road-at-best players and teams that step up and have career days. Remember Thomas Rawls and Andre Brown.Regardless of who is on the schedule or when, the Panthers have a time honored tradition of winning games they had no business being in and losing games they shouldn’t. Their loss to the Bears last season comes to mind.It even features a similar formula with an uninspiring offense and a highly competent defense. This isn’t 2015. The Panthers have yet to prove they are a cut above the rest of the league. I hope I’m wrong, but this game feels all too familiar.
