Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Christian McCaffrey

VideoCaptured September 1, 2026

From the video

CMC is 30 years old. He's also seen him in seasons have, you know, over 350 touches... I am slightly concerned that uh we might kind of see the cliff here

High workload and age create significant risk for McCaffrey

Ranked as the RB4, Christian McCaffrey carries significant risk due to a 450-touch workload from last season and his age (30). Jir Gibbs expresses concern that historical data on high-touch running backs (350+ touches) suggests a potential performance 'cliff,' noting McCaffrey's efficiency decline last year (39th in YPC, 36th in yards after contact). Despite these concerns, his high-value touch volume and receiving floor keep his upside massive if he plays 17 games.
