I was wrong about him last year. I was right about Barkley, I was right about Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I was right about Drake Maye. CMC was my biggest whiff... The durability issues were huge for me. The previous year he had only played four games, and he averaged, like, 12 points per game in those games... So, I mean, go figure. The fantasy football gods are laughing at us. But I think the same concerns are very, very realistic right now, and maybe even more so.

Fabiano's biggest 2025 miss; durability concerns persist despite 2025 success.

Michael Fabiano admits McCaffrey was his biggest 2025 whiff; he faded McCaffrey in the first round due to durability concerns stemming from McCaffrey's four-game 2024 season (averaging 12 points per game), though McCaffrey proved durable in 2025 on an injury-ravaged 49ers team. Fabiano remains cautious for 2026, citing the same durability issues as realistic and potentially more concerning given the 450-touch workload at age 30 on an offense now described as a 'mash unit.'
