CMC REWRITING HISTORY:

Entering Week 13, Carolina running back CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY leads the NFL in rushing yards (1,123), rushing touchdowns (12) and scrimmage yards (1,709). McCaffrey also leads all running backs with 68 receptions in 2019.

With seven receptions on Sunday against Washington (1:00 PM ET, CBS), McCaffrey would become the fifth running back with at least 75 receptions in three seasons in NFL history.

The running backs with the most seasons with at least 75 receptions in NFL history:

Last week, McCaffrey recorded, his fourth game with both a rushing and receiving touchdown in 2019.

NOT DRAFTED? NOT A PROBLEM:

In 2018, Denver running back PHILLIP LINDSAY became the third undrafted rookie with at least 1,000 rushing yards since 1970. Lindsay has followed up his rookie year with 887 scrimmage yards in 11 games this season.

With 113 scrimmage yards on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers (4:25 PM ET, CBS), Lindsay would become the third undrafted player with at least 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two seasons in the common-draft era.

NEW ERA OF TIGHT ENDS:

Philadelphia’s ZACH ERTZ leads all tight ends with 67 receptions this season, while Kansas City tight end TRAVIS KELCE ranks second with 63.

If Ertz (at Miami, 1:00 PM ET, FOX) has at least three receptions or Kelce (vs. Oakland, 4:25 PM ET, CBS) has at least seven receptions on Sunday, they would tie Pro Football Hall of Famer SHANNON SHARPE (five seasons) for the fourth-most seasons with at least 70 catches by a tight end in NFL history.​
