From the episode
My way too early hot take for 2026 is that Christian McCaffrey will finish outside the top seven of running backs. I actually have him ranked as RB9 right now...Christian McCaffrey had 450 touches last season. And this is a guy I was all in last year coming off the injury. But yes, now at 30, after having so many touches last year with the injury history and the age, unfortunately, that he is at, I feel like I would rather have some of the what I think is a surer bet and some of the younger guys than going with a guy that has an injury history and has seen an historical workload.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalProjection
Ranked RB9 (outside typical top-7 RB range); analyst avoiding in drafts; 450 touches last season at age 30 with injury history raises durability concerns; similar to Saquon last season—high workload may impact 2026 season; analyst prefers younger players with surer bets; injury history and age make him less attractive than other RB options at his ADP; analyst putting ranking where mouth is despite seeming crazy.
