Fantasy Footballers on Christian McCaffrey

PodcastNFC West Breakdown + Training Camp Hype - Fantasy Football Podcast for 7/25July 25, 2026

From the episode

When he's on the field, he's been a number one or number two running back. His utilization in the passing game, his utilization on the goal line. He had 75. The only other player that I've seen be more indefensible when you know the ball is coming to him is Travis Kelsey, like in his prime.

Mentioned at 59:00 – 60:00

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCaffrey is RB1/2 when healthy; elite passing game and goal-line usage.

When healthy, McCaffrey has been a number-one or number-two running back in the NFL; the source notes his utilization in the passing game and goal-line touches are elite, and he had 75 receiving touchdowns, making him nearly indefensible when the ball is coming to him; his work ethic and knowledge of the game allow him to always be in the right spot.
