From the article
McCaffrey gave the Rams' defense problems through the air, catching eight passes for 82 yards and a touchdown...Los Angeles kept McCaffrey below 100 combined yards despite giving him 20 total touches.
STACKED’s take
McCaffrey's receiving threat requires Rams to limit explosive plays, especially in passing game.
The source identifies limiting Christian McCaffrey as a key defensive priority for the Rams. McCaffrey has proven capable of hurting Los Angeles in multiple ways, particularly as a receiver out of the backfield. In Week 5 of last season, he caught eight passes for 82 yards and a touchdown, creating mismatches against linebackers and defensive backs. However, in Week 10, the Rams held McCaffrey below 100 combined yards despite giving him 20 total touches (12 carries, 8 receptions) and prevented him from scoring. The source suggests the Week 10 blueprint—limiting explosive plays particularly in the passing game—should be the Rams' defensive approach, as completely eliminating McCaffrey is unrealistic.
