Zachariason targets McCaffrey as an RB1 but not a top-five pick. Despite playing all 16 games last season, McCaffrey carried 450 touches (including playoffs), a high number, and his rushing efficiency declined to 3.8 yards per carry. Zachariason expects McCaffrey's numbers to dip in 2026 given the heavy workload, age (turned 30 in June), and regression risk despite Kyle Shanahan's scheme and receiving role.
