I mean, it's McCaffrey number five. I gave him a nine... I would take McCaffrey at three and a PPR. I would take McCaffrey, but I would, I would know what I was doing.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

High-risk, high-reward top-5 pick due to extreme usage and injury history

Christian McCaffrey is a high-risk, high-reward asset due to his extreme usage, including playing 100% of snaps in some games. While he has a history of lower-extremity injuries that can sideline him for 6-8 weeks, his upside is so significant that he remains a top-5 overall pick. He is coming off a healthy season following plasma treatment, and Jonathan Brooks would consider him a top-3 pick in PPR formats if guaranteed 14 games.
