Establish The Run on Christian McCaffrey

McCaffrey drops to 10th overall after Australia game, but receiving role and goal-line work remain sticky.

McCaffrey was out-carried by Kalen Black (8-7 in first half, 46% of team's RB carries each) in Week 1 against the Rams in Australia, losing carries between the 20s but retaining goal-line work and pass-catching role. Despite not scoring a touchdown, he finished as a fringe RB1 due to high target volume. Adam Levitan notes this usage pattern keeps him healthy and aligns with his receiving-heavy profile: 10.9 half-PPR points per game from receiving and 10.6 from rushing last season. With Stribbling going down, more targets should flow to McCaffrey. Ranked 10th overall (down from 6th pre-season) in rest-of-season rankings.
