Bob Harris and Matt Waldman diverge on McCaffrey's 2024 workload. Harris projects McCaffrey will approach last year's 400+ touches and deliver 14–18 total touchdowns with 1,600–1,700 yards from scrimmage, positioning him as a top-five running back. Waldman is more conservative, estimating closer to 350 touches (not quite 400) and 14–18 total touchdowns. Waldman's hesitation stems from not yet being a believer in the 49ers' offensive line, though he acknowledges the addition of center Linderbaum as a positive boost. Harris cites the offensive line improvements and Linderbaum as a road-grading presence as supporting factors for a strong year, though he expresses some caution about pass protection.NegativeProjectionMay 7, 2026

The team's focus on run-game efficiency could reshape personnel deployment and personnel groupings.NegativeProjectionNo date
