STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCaffrey's age, injury history, and load management concerns make him a fade.

Jamie Eisenberg highlights concerns regarding Christian McCaffrey's age (30), high career touch volume (two seasons over 400 touches), and current injury issues (tightness in practice). With the 49ers potentially implementing load management, Eisenberg suggests fading him in the first round if the missed practice time continues, noting he would now draft him no earlier than eighth or ninth overall.
