Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Christian McCaffrey

Video10 most important running back questions in fantasy football with ETR's John Da...July 16, 2026

From the video

I'm using the same argument for Christian McAffrey this season and why I'm worried about him. Uh his 450 touches were the 10th most of the 21st century last year. And there were only 38 times that a running back handled 350 plus including the playoffs since 2014... only six of those running backs, 15.7% improved in points per game the following season... I just think there are better situations for me to draft in.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCaffrey is a concern in the first round due to high touch volume (450 touches, 10th most of the 21st century), as only 15.7% of running backs with 350+ touches improved in PPG the following season, and the analyst prefers other players like Justin Jefferson.
