VideoTop 50 Week 7 Running Back Rankings + TiersOctober 24, 2026

From the video

I almost included Christian McAffrey in the top tier. The only reason I didn't is I am I'm like a little bit worried... I do wonder if we actually see Christian McCaffrey like legitimately function, you know, 30 45% of the snaps as a slot wide receiver this week.

Negative signalRole

Slot WR risk (30-45% snaps) limits RB upside

Nearly included in the top tier but the source is concerned about potential role expansion into slot receiver duties due to 49ers WR injuries. The source worries Kyle Shanahan may deploy McCaffrey as a slot wide receiver for 30-45% of snaps this week, which could reduce traditional running back production despite his elite talent.
