450 touches at age 30 and durability concerns temper 2026 draft outlook.

For 2026, McCaffrey enters his age-30 season following 450 touches (regular season and playoffs combined), raising durability concerns that may warrant caution in draft positioning; Michael Fabiano, who faded McCaffrey in 2025, only ranks Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs ahead of him in 2026 but is proceeding with caution due to injury risk and workload concerns.
