Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Christian McCaffrey

VideoCaptured August 7, 2026

From the video

Sure seems like CMC is once again going to be someone who we could see get near 300 carries, but even more importantly, clear 100 targets. So so tough to bust in a full PPR format when that is the case.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

High-volume workload risk offset by elite receiving floor and league-winning upside

Ian Hartitz acknowledges a 4/10 concern level due to McCaffrey's age (30) and massive 450-touch workload from last season, noting historical data suggests high-volume backs often see a 3.9 PPR point per game decline. However, Hartitz remains bullish, labeling him a league-winning target at 1.05. Due to injuries across the 49ers' RB depth chart (Isaac Guerendo, Jordan Mason), Hartitz projects McCaffrey to approach 300 carries and clear 100 targets, making him extremely difficult to bust in full PPR formats.
