STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Christian McCaffrey is a bust candidate due to age and heavy workload.

Daniel Dopp predicts Christian McCaffrey will finish outside the top 10 running backs in 2026. The reasoning is based on his massive 450-touch workload from last season and his age (30), citing historical trends of players falling off after such heavy usage. Dopp ranks him at RB10.
