I wouldn’t touch Christian McCaffrey with a 10-foot pole this season. - 30 years old - 413 touches in 2025 🤯 - a LENGTHY injury history to his lower body Injuries are difficult to predict, but the red flags are there. It’s not a question as to if he gets banged up, it’s when. Even if he plays all 17 games, he’ll have lingering ailments that could affect his overall play, especially later in the year. In-season ailments last season led to his worst efficiency as a runner since his rookie campaign, despite playing every game. George Kittle is ahead of schedule in his rehab and could return for Week 1. Mike Evans is now in the mix as well and will surely take away some red zone opportunities… it’s not like they desperately need him to be a bell-cow. You can’t win a league in the first round of your draft, but you can surely lose one. I’d avoid him in all drafts.
