Christian McCaffreyRBSF
McCaffrey is grouped with other high-touch running backs facing regression risk. The source notes McCaffrey is coming off a 450-touch season (the highest mentioned), and expresses concern about players coming off 400-touch seasons. While McCaffrey's 2023 production was driven more by pass-catching (230 carries) than pure rushing volume, the source still views him as a regression candidate and believes it's "insane to draft them ahead of Christian McCaffrey" when comparing him to James Cook and Jonathan Taylor—implying McCaffrey should be drafted later than those younger backs despite his proven production.

McCaffrey's coming off of 450 touch seasons... You guys have heard us talk about how worried we are about players coming off of 400 touch seasons... draft Ray Davis with a late round pick if you get James Cook. Because Davis is actually a darn good running back when he's replaced James Cook... I think it's insane to draft them ahead of Christian McCaffrey.
