The analyst lists McCaffrey as someone to avoid, citing that he's over 30, coming off a pinnacle year that's historically hard to duplicate, and has multiple reasons to fade him.NegativeBustJul 6, 2026
Do not draft Christian McCaffrey at all costs. He is 30 years old, coming off a pinnacle year with 416 points and 17 all-purpose touchdowns that will be hard to duplicate, and has been injured 3 out of his last 6 years, making him a coin flip.NegativeRoleJun 23, 2026

Author expects CMC to decline significantly from his RB3 ranking, predicting he'll come off the board in the top 5-7 range but will fade due to historical running back regression patterns and his own injury-prone history.NegativeBustJun 23, 2026
Author has zero confidence in drafting CMC, stating he's completely inconsistent with a 50-50 track record—busting 3 out of the past 6 years. He finished top-2 last year (416 fantasy points), but historically running backs rarely finish top-2 in consecutive years (last was Priest Holmes 2002-2003), making a decline imminent.
