Panthers' Christian McCaffery (ankle) not expected back for Week 7's game against New Orleans
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is not expected to be available for Week 7's game against the New Orleans Saints, but has a "shot" to return in Week 8.
What It Means:
McCaffrey is reportedly "close" to returning, but Week 7's game against the Saints is likely to come too soon. In Week 8, the Panthers face the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, and the team is considering that short turnaround when deciding McCaffrey's return date. For at least one more week, Mike Davis will remain Carolina's feature back.
The Panthers are 7.5-point underdogs against the Saints in Week 7. Their implied team total of 22.0 points is the fifth-lowest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
