PodcastFFT Express - Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings: Best Draft Values by ADP: Love,...Captured August 1, 2026

From the episode

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 signalRole

McCaffrey overvalued as rookie due to specialist role and backfield share.

McCaffrey was drafted around RB 14 or lower in rookie rankings because expectations were set for a specialist role rather than a full-time workhorse; he was sharing carries with Jon Stewart, which limited his early-season workload and production ceiling relative to draft cost.
