STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCaffrey's 80% snap share and 17+ points keep him in elite RB conversation.

McCaffrey scored over 17 fantasy points and played 80% of snaps in Week 5; positioned as a mid-tier RB4-RB6 option who will play when games matter, with the source noting he's not definitively behind Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, or Kenneth Walker III, and some analysts prefer him to Kyron Williams and Derrick Henry.
