McCaffrey's 413 touches and RB1 finish offset age/efficiency concerns; high-risk, high-reward.
McCaffrey stormed back in his age-29 season to finish as the RB1 in fantasy points per game while leading the NFL with 413 touches and ranking second in total yards from scrimmage behind only Bijan Robinson. He remained amazing through the air with a 21.3% target share, 54.4 receiving yards per game, and 0.103 first downs per route run. Derek Brown notes that McCaffrey feels like a risky pick again that could produce league-winning results if he stays healthy, as San Francisco isn't decreasing his workload. However, his declining rushing efficiency is a worry: among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 35th in explosive run rate, 26th in missed tackle rate, and 40th in yards after contact per attempt. McCaffrey could easily post another RB1 overall season in 2026, or he could get dinged up and miss time, thus crushing your team.
