From the episode

I think Christian McCaffrey has a more repeatable formula to his fantasy success because yes, it's crazy receiving production. I think he's also on the shortlist for the greatest receiving running back in the history of the NFL. This Niners offense is, is once again, banked up basically everywhere, but him and Kyle Shanahan has a Christian McCaffrey problem.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Yates has CMC as RB3 overall; elite receiving production and Shanahan's scheme ensure repeatable success.

Field Yates makes the case for Christian McCaffrey as RB3 overall (and potentially RB1), emphasizing his durability (played all 17 games last year despite injury history), elite receiving production (on the shortlist for greatest receiving running back in NFL history), and the repeatable nature of his fantasy success. Yates notes Kyle Shanahan "has a Christian McCaffrey problem" and can't help himself deploying CMC, and the Niners offense is "banked up basically everywhere but him," ensuring consistent opportunity. Yates ranks him as the number three player on his overall board, not just at running back.
