From the episode

If he's healthy, again, it's a binary decision. If he's healthy, he's a top two back. If he's not, you're screwed. Amin Ra, it's harder to make that, that kind of bed of like, can he be a top two wide receiver?

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCaffrey is a top-two RB lock if healthy, unlike St. Brown's target competition.

McCaffrey is preferred over Amon-Ra St. Brown in the first round because he remains a binary bet for a top-two positional finish if healthy, whereas St. Brown faces more competition for targets from Sam LaPorta, Jameson Williams, and Jahmyr Gibbs.
