CMC's Workload Threatens Future Value

  • Christian McCaffrey led the league in touches in 2025 and finished RB1, but his workload raises long-term durability concerns.
  • Andrew Erickson worries 400+ touches at age 30 could mark his last season as a top-first-round fantasy asset.
ADVICE

Prefer Younger Three-Down Backs

  • Avoid drafting McCaffrey early if you expect declining efficiency or injury risk after a 400+ touch season.
  • Prefer younger three-down backs in their prime like James Cook for first-round value.
