Latest takes
“It was a really disappointing 2025 for CeeDee Lamb, posting the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets (117), receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,077), with only his rookie season in 2020 worse. He also had a career-low three touchdowns, with the newly arrived George Pickens recording a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 25“CeeDee Lamb posted his fifth straight 1,000-yard season.”
Sharp Football Staff· Jun 24“The newly arrived George Pickens recorded a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson, who led the team with 23.1%. Contrast this to 2024, when Lamb had a 27.7% red-zone target share and led the team by 10%.”

Tom Strachan· Jun 17“CeeDee Lamb was framed as one of the safest high-end fantasy receivers because of his ability to consistently function as the centerpiece of an offense. Even when offensive conditions fluctuate, receivers who dominate targets maintain elite fantasy floors. There was little concern expressed about talent or role, with the conversation focused on how dependable his fantasy profile remains compared to many receivers drafted around him.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 23
“It's true that Christian McCaffrey is coming off quite a poor year by his standards in the ground game, rushing for 3.9 yards per carry, his lowest mark since 2020 in Carolina. But for fantasy purposes, that simply didn't matter, as McCaffrey saw 129 targets, more than A.J. Brown, Courtland Sutton, Keenan Allen or Zay Flowers had. McCaffrey was the RB1 in points per game, scoring 2.5 points more than the RB2.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 25“CMC ran pure last year and finished as the RB1 overall. However, now 30 years old and already showing a decline in efficiency — averaging under 4.0 yards per carry for the first time since 2020 — there have been rumblings about keeping CMC fresh during the season.”
Edward DeLauter· Jun 23“The 49ers did very little to persuade us that they don't believe in McCaffrey's ability to be a workhorse, instead continuing their habit of talking up a later-round dart throw at the position, who'll likely struggle to see any involvement.”

Tom Strachan· Jun 21“It's true that Christian McCaffrey is coming off quite a poor year by his standards in the ground game, rushing for 3.9 yards per carry, his lowest mark since 2020 in Carolina, which ranked 48th among running backs with 50+ rush attempts, while also ranking 47th in yards after contact per attempt.”

This ranked 48th among running backs with 50+ rush attempts, while also ranking 47th in yards after contact per attempt and 29th in missed tackles forced.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 17“McCaffrey recently turned 30, and while he can maintain his value in the receiving game, the cliff edge can come fast for running backs.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 16“McCaffrey is coming off one of his worst rushing performances of his career, averaging 3.9 yards per carry, his lowest mark since 2020 in Carolina. This ranked 48th among running backs with 50+ rush attempts. He also ranked 47th in yards after contact per attempt and 29th in missed tackles forced.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 16“Last season, Christian McCaffrey finished as the RB1, averaging 24.5 PPR fantasy points per game, totaling 45.8 more fantasy points than any other running back. However, McCaffrey had 413 regular-season touches last year, a career-high. Unfortunately, the last time he had over 375 touches in a season, McCaffrey missed 13 games the following year.”
Mike Fanelli· Jun 12“McCaffrey says he's had heavy workload seasons where he felt rough after and some he felt great after, making it all about how he prepares mixed with some luck. "Sometimes you can get through a season with 400-plus touches and feel great, and sometimes you might only put in three games and you feel terrible. I've experienced both."”
Wyatt Grindley· Jun 10“Coming off a year where McCaffrey had five games with at least 30 touches, HC Kyle Shanahan has talked about reducing the star's workload as he ages. McCaffrey said he obviously doesn't want the ball less, but he's still preparing his body to be ready to handle 35 touches a game.”
Wyatt Grindley· Jun 10“McCaffrey turns 30 on June 7th, and while 129 targets last year isn't to be sniffed at, this bet does feel slightly thin at times. McCaffrey is a stronger pick slightly later than this.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 6“The trouble is that McCaffrey PPR scammed his way to first place with his worst rushing production in a while. His 3.9 yards per carry was his lowest mark since 2020 in Carolina. This ranked 48th among running backs with 50+ rush attempts, while also ranking 47th in yards after contact per attempt and 29th in missed tackles forced.”
