From the episode

There is clearly a path to him replicating some version of what he did last year based on volume. But man... that history of running backs, that kind of volume coming through the next year, it's just not great.

McCaffrey carries high-volume risk but remains a league-winning upside play

The source expresses concern over Christian McCaffrey's age (30) and the historical trend of running backs with high touch counts (450+) seeing a 5-7 point per game drop-off the following season. However, he remains a high-upside pick who can win leagues if he stays healthy, as he takes excellent care of his body.
