Biggest RB fade at 1.05 ADP; 413 touches trigger efficiency decline, age-30 durability risk.
McCaffrey is the source's biggest fade at RB despite his elite skill set and 413 touches last season. The source invokes the 'rule of 370'—workloads exceeding 370 touches lead to drastic efficiency declines the following year—and cites Saquon Barkley as a cautionary parallel: Barkley posted 22.2 FPTS/game with 482 touches in 2024 but fell to RB14 in 2025 with an ADP of 3.6, managing just 4.5 yards per touch (RB41). McCaffrey's 2025 efficiency also declined to 3.9 yards per carry (lowest since 2020) despite finishing RB2 in carries (311); only 43.3% of his fantasy points came via rushing (RB47), revealing heavy reliance on receiving work. Entering his age-30 season with a bottom-10 strength of schedule and durability concerns, McCaffrey's 1.05 ADP is deemed unreasonable; a rebound in rushing efficiency is unlikely.
