Christian McCaffrey is my easy answer here. I have made it known that I am not touching CMC this season. He is a 30-year-old running back off a 413-touch season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCaffrey's 413-touch workload and poor efficiency create major bust risk.

Michael Tomlin will not touch CMC this season; he is a 30-year-old RB off a 413-touch season, and the last two times McCaffrey had 330+ touches, he missed a combined 26 games the next seasons. Even if healthy, his rushing stats were atrocious last season (3.9 yards per carry, career-worst 1.5 yards after contact per attempt), and Deebo Samuel will eat into his short targets.
