49ers plan to manage McCaffrey's workload more in 2026.

The 49ers have repeatedly stated they want to manage McCaffrey's workload more in 2026, indicating a shift toward reduced snap share and touches compared to previous seasons. This workload management strategy creates opportunity for backup Jordan James to contribute in 15-25 percent of offensive snaps.
