From the article

That trend has changed somewhat in recent years due to a number of very strong and deep wide receiver draft classes, but McCaffrey was considered a very raw prospect coming out. He entered college playing quarterback and switched positions, so he was very new to the position when the Commanders drafted him. That has caused him to take a little longer to develop, which makes this almost a make or break year for him.

STACKED’s take

McCaffrey's year 3 is make-or-break; competing for fourth/fifth receiver role.

McCaffrey is entering a critical year 3 in his development as a wide receiver after switching from quarterback in college. The source notes he was a raw prospect and has taken longer to develop than typical; this is described as a make-or-break year. With McLaurin locked as the top option, McCaffrey is expected to compete for a fourth or fifth receiver spot on the depth chart, with potential to develop into the third receiver if everything goes well.
