From the episode

McCaffrey. One of the worst examples, 14th per game and he had 80 catches in 16 games... I think McCaffrey was probably in the range of RB 14, if not lower, because we expected him to be more of a specialist than a full down, a full time workhorse running back. I believe he's still sharing with John that Stewart.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCaffrey's RB14 per-game rookie output was disappointing despite 80 catches.

Christian McCaffrey, a first-round running back investment, produced only RB14 per game as a rookie despite 80 catches in 16 games; Aj Brown notes McCaffrey was expected to be more of a specialist than a full-time workhorse and was sharing carries with Jonathan Stewart, making him one of the worst rookie RB examples from top-10 investments.
