Christian McCaffrey withstood 413 touches from scrimmage in 2025 and now heads into his age-30 season. The 49ers want to get as much as possible out of McCaffrey, but to do that they somewhat paradoxically need to decrease his workload.

McCaffrey's 413 touches in 2025 necessitate workload reduction at age 30.

McCaffrey withstood 413 touches from scrimmage in 2025 and now heads into his age-30 season. The 49ers want to maximize his production but paradoxically need to decrease his workload to do so. Whatever McCaffrey leaves on the bone won't be much by the time his backups get on the field, but he needs more relief all the same, creating opportunity for Jordan James and/or Kaelon Black.
