Christian McCaffreyRBSF

The source identifies McCaffrey as a contender buy at 60th overall on Keep Trade Cut and in the fifth round of Dynasty startups, despite being 30 years old. The rationale: he had 90 more expected fantasy points than any other running back in 2024, and even with declining rushing efficiency, he remains the best fantasy running back when healthy. His receiving role is so ingrained that he functions as a mix of 29-year-old Keenan Allen as a receiver and 29-year-old Devonta Freeman as a rusher, meaning his floor is a mid-to-low RB1 even if he declines further. At his current price (late first-round pick cost), he offers league-winning upside for contenders willing to trade future assets.
