From the article

After totaling a bloated and perhaps irresponsible 311 rushing attempts and 102 receptions last season, McCaffrey is on pace for only 213 rushes and 68 catches. If you were drafting today, knowing what you know about McCaffrey's history of injury (and dominance when healthy, to be fair), would you choose him over Kyren Williams? I do not think I would.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCaffrey's volume collapse—from 413 touches to 281 projected—makes him less attractive than Williams.

McCaffrey delivered 2,126 yards from scrimmage with 17 touchdowns last season but is on pace for only 213 rushes and 68 catches this year—a fraction of last season's volume after totaling a bloated 311 rushing attempts and 102 receptions. He is scoring touchdowns but when volume regression was expected, this degree of decline was not widely considered. The source states: 'If you were drafting today, knowing what you know about McCaffrey's history of injury (and dominance when healthy, to be fair), would you choose him over Kyren Williams? I do not think I would.'
