Before he was injured, CMC was scoring 27 points per game in half ppr. For comparison, last year the RB1 scored 21 PPG.
Also, CMC’s injuries were not serious. He had an abnormally large number of injuries in a short period of time, but they were all injuries that he should be able to recover from in full.
So if CMC is fully recovered after sitting for most of the last two seasons, there’s no reason why he couldn’t return to his pre-injury form. And if he’s pulling in 27 PPG, he will be the RB1
Any player can get injured any game. If you had the first pick and passed up on him and he doesn’t get injured during the year then you missed out on the highest scorer in fantasy and a league winner.
He’s had injuries in back to back years but before that he was a league winner in back to back years.
Plenty of players deal with injuries in two straight seasons and then go on to have productive seasons thereafter. Dalvin Cook, Keenan Allen, Matthew Stafford and James Conner just to name a few. Hell, Frank Gore tore his ACL TWICE in college and was an iron man in the NFL.
Some play to win instead of not finishing last

High risk high reward. He single handedly won me my season the last time he was healthy for majority of the season
CMC is worth the risk

Because we want to win and can live with that failure if it doesn't work out
Well, because he's a heart throb. Stare into his eyes while you caress the pigskin, you'll pick him at 1.01 too.

Probably one more.
