From the article

McCaffrey PPR scammed his way to first place with his worst rushing production in a while. McCaffrey had 3.9 yards per carry, his lowest mark since 2020 in Carolina. This ranked 48th among running backs with 50 or more rush attempts... McCaffrey turned 30 on June 7th... this bet does feel slightly thin at times.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCaffrey's declining rushing efficiency and age make him a fade at 1.03 despite PPR points.

Christian McCaffrey was the RB1 in PPR points per game with 24.5 points last year, 2.5 more than Bijan Robinson, but the source argues this was a PPR-inflated ranking due to his worst rushing production in a while. McCaffrey had 3.9 yards per carry, his lowest mark since 2020 in Carolina, ranking 48th among running backs with 50 or more rush attempts, 47th in yards after contact per attempt, and 29th in missed tackles forced. McCaffrey turned 30 on June 7th, and while 129 targets last year isn't to be sniffed at, the source suggests this bet feels slightly thin at times and McCaffrey is a stronger pick slightly later than 1.03.
