From the episode

My downside case for Christian McCaffrey is based upon the fact that he had over 400 touches last year at this age at 29. It is very, very difficult for a human being to have that kind of a workload and then be healthy the following season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCaffrey's 400+ touches at 29 raise durability red flags; prefer Taylor, Chase, Rice in top 12.

The source expresses significant concern about Christian McCaffrey's durability heading into the 2025 season. McCaffrey carried over 400 touches last year at age 29, a workload historically difficult to sustain into the following season; the source cites Saquon Barkley and other all-time greats who struggled after 400-touch seasons. When healthy, McCaffrey is a top-2 running back, but the injury risk is substantial. In ADP comparisons, the source prefers B.J. Hill, Jonathan Taylor, Jamar Chase, and Rashee Rice over McCaffrey in the top-12 picks.
