McCaffrey is a top-three overall player due to elite receiving volume

Ian Hartitz ranks Christian McCaffrey as his third overall player, assigning him only a three out of 10 on the 'wash' scale. Despite concerns regarding his age (turning 30 in June), a massive 450-touch workload last season, and a decline in rushing efficiency (3.9 yards per carry), Hartitz argues McCaffrey's elite receiving volume—noting he had more PPR points from receiving alone than Saquon Barkley had in total last season—makes him a safer bet than other high-volume backs.
