RotoWire NFL Articles on Christian McCaffrey
From the article
McCaffrey carried 311 times with an NFL-high 413 touches. His 3.9 yards per carry marked a significant drop from his established career efficiency baseline. His current price reflects all of last year's ceiling and almost none of the floor variance. Fade McCaffrey.
STACKED’s take
McCaffrey's efficiency decline and volume reliance make him a first-round fade despite 2,126 scrimmage yards.
McCaffrey is being faded as a first-round pick despite finishing 2025 with 2,126 scrimmage yards, 17 touchdowns, and 102 receptions. His production was volume-driven rather than efficiency-based: he carried 311 times with an NFL-high 413 touches but posted 3.9 yards per carry, a significant drop from his career baseline. At ADP 7 (RB3), his current price reflects all of last year's ceiling and almost none of the floor variance. The workload and efficiency trends are heading in opposite directions, creating a clear market inefficiency. He carries a stable floor but stands as an avoid at a first-round draft price due to accumulated-wear risk profile.
