Who Should I Start? Daurice Fountain or Christian McCaffrey

Sunday, August 20, 1:38 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Daurice Fountain led the team in receiving and got into the endzone in Saturday's preseason loss against the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old hauled in five catches on six targets for 86 receiving yards, including a 35-yard jump ball touchdown from Nathan Peterman in the fourth quarter. Despite this dominant performance, several receivers are currently ahead of Fountain on the depth chart. While it will be challenging for Fountain to get a spot on the 53-man roster, he is still someone to watch regardless of the outcome.

Predictably, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was heavily involved in the team's 25-22 Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The newly-minted Offensive Player of the Year took 22 carries for 80 yards, plus eight receptions on as many targets for another 80 yards and a touchdown. The 21-yard touchdown reception improbably came from wide receiver Jauan Jennings on a trick play. It's hard to blame McCaffrey for the loss after 160 all-purpose yards, but besides the touchdown he was pretty well bottled up by Kansas City's defense, averaging just 3.6 yards on the ground while not gaining any chunks longer than 11 yards. CMC will once again enter 2024 fantasy drafts worthy of consideration for the No. 1 overall pick.
