Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) listed as doubtful for Week 5

The Panthers listed RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) as doubtful for Sunday’s Week 5 game against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Chuba Hubbard will operate as Carolina’s lead RB for another week, and he’ll retain low-end RB2 value in fantasy leagues. The Panthers are opting to play it safe with their star running back this early in the season, which should help fantasy managers feel at ease. McCaffrey won’t play until he’s fully healthy, which should decrease the chance of re-injury. CMC could ultimately return in Week 6 against the Vikings.
