What It Means:

McCaffrey rolled his ankle in the first half of the Panthers' loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He played just one snap in the second half and left the stadium in a walking boot. However, Rapoport is under the impression that McCaffrey avoided a major injury and that the running back may not miss any game action since the Panthers have their bye in Week 13. Chuba Hubbard and Ameer Abdullah split backfield work in the second half on Sunday, with the latter likely benefitting from the negative game script.

Abdullah led the Panthers backfield with 21 pass routes in Week 12 and he out-snapped Hubbard 27-11. From Weeks 4-8 while McCaffrey was out, Hubbard averaged 20.6 touches and 11.6 FanDuel points per game as the starting running back.
