From the episode

We know if he plays it's going to be really good. Dave made the case, I think it was on CBS Sports Network yesterday, that if he, or maybe it was on our show, that if he just has like the passing downs work regress to a point that you're just relying mostly on his rushing. If his passing downs, if his targets go away and he's, you know, not as reliant on his passing downs work, we could be looking at a 17, 18 point per game guy, which is still good, but more of a round two pick.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCaffrey's injury risk is the main concern; passing-down regression could lower him to round-two value.

Christian McCaffrey's primary risk is injury; if healthy, he will perform very well. However, if his passing-down usage regresses and targets decline, he could fall to a 17-18 points-per-game pace, which would be more of a round-two pick value rather than a first-round anchor.
