His 3.9 yards per carry marked a significant drop from his established career efficiency baseline. McCaffrey leaned on volume rather than efficiency to secure those numbers. He now faces the risk profile of an older accumulated-wear asset. His current price reflects all of last year's ceiling and almost none of the floor variance. Fade McCaffrey.

McCaffrey's efficiency decline and age make him overpriced at ADP 8 despite volume.

McCaffrey's 2,126 scrimmage yards, 17 touchdowns, and 102 receptions from last season are now fully baked into his ADP 8, RB3 draft cost, creating a market inefficiency. Despite 413 touches (NFL-high), his 3.9 yards per carry marked a significant drop from his career efficiency baseline, indicating he leaned on volume rather than efficiency. As an older accumulated-wear asset, he faces a risk profile where workload and efficiency trends are heading in opposite directions. Jim Coventry advises fading McCaffrey, noting he carries a stable floor but stands as an avoid at first-round price.
