McCaffrey's injury history suggests durability risk despite elite upside.

Christian McCaffrey carries significant injury risk despite elite upside; the source notes that while McCaffrey has produced two RB1 seasons with egregious touch volume, he has a history of not making it a quarter of the way through the season after those high-volume campaigns, suggesting historical odds do not favor his durability going forward.
