The source expresses significant concern about Christian McCaffrey's durability heading into the 2025 season. McCaffrey carried over 400 touches last year at age 29, a workload historically difficult to sustain into the following season; the source cites Saquon Barkley and other all-time greats who struggled after 400-touch seasons. When healthy, McCaffrey is a top-2 running back, but the injury risk is substantial. In ADP comparisons, the source prefers B.J. Hill, Jonathan Taylor, Jamar Chase, and Rashee Rice over McCaffrey in the top-12 picks.
