McCaffrey is the only 400-touch player in 17-game era; focal point of 49ers offense.

McCaffrey has been the focal point of the 49ers' offense and is the only player to record 400+ touches in a season since the league expanded to 17 games; he appears on that list twice. His centrality to San Francisco's scheme underscores both his value and the team's reliance on him, making contract negotiations and injury status particularly consequential for the offense.
