From the episode

The guy's a unicorn. He's still in this Kyle Shanahan-led offense. He's going to be heavily involved as a rusher and, of course, as a receiver.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCaffrey is a unicorn who remains a top-3 RB due to his elite receiving role

Despite concerns about age and heavy workload, Mike Clay maintains Christian McCaffrey as a top-3 running back. McCaffrey is viewed as a 'unicorn' who defies standard age-related decline curves. He led all running backs in snaps, routes, touches, targets, catches, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and fantasy points last season. In his last five healthy seasons (16+ games), he has finished 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, and 1st in fantasy points per game. He remains the best receiving running back in NFL history and is locked into a high-volume role in the Kyle Shanahan offense.
