From the article

Identified as a draft fade; the source states 'He was an undeniable league-winner in 2025, but the 413 touches should make you nervous, especially entering his 10th pro season. It's the third time McCaffrey has led the league in touches, and the last two times it happened, he suffered a significant injury the following year. Even if McCaffrey stays healthy, take note that his efficiency has dropped notably the last two seasons (his 5.1 yards per touch last year was a career low). McCaffrey is a ticklish boom-bust pick in the first round, part of a talented but aging San Francisco offense.' High touch volume, injury history, and declining efficiency present significant bust risk.

McCaffrey's 413 touches and injury history make him a boom-bust first-round fade.
