From the episode
My third player is Christian McCaffrey... If I told you I was getting 17 games of Christian McCaffrey, I would put him player one and it wouldn't be close... he's relatively healthy, or at least healthy enough right now that I feel good about him as my third ranked player overall.
STACKED’s take
Yates' #3 overall; would be #1 with 17 games; still projects top-3 RB despite 100-point decline.
Field Yates ranks Christian McCaffrey as #3 overall player in fantasy football, with a caveat about health. Yates states if given 17 games, McCaffrey would be #1 overall. Over the time Gibbs and Robinson have been in the NFL, McCaffrey ranks fourth among running backs. Yates projects McCaffrey's fantasy points over 100 points lower than last year but still projects him to finish third at running back, demonstrating the caliber of volume he receives. Mike Clay notes McCaffrey is a unicorn who dominated the position despite efficiency dropping to 3.8 yards per carry last year. Clay emphasizes the volume in Kyle Shanahan's offense ensures McCaffrey will be a superstar even with efficiency decline.
