Christian McCaffrey a Risky Dynasty Hold Who Still Exceeds His Trade Value
When on the field, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey represents the biggest mismatch in fantasy football. Even in a down year by his own metrics, McCaffrey finished as the RB1 in 2025, his fifth top-three finish in as many healthy seasons. He touched the ball 44 more times than any other non-quarterback in the league, and while that sort of volume is exactly what makes him the most dominant asset in the game, it also makes him one of the riskiest. With McCaffrey taking 311 carries in 2025, it's important to note that he has handled more than 100 attempts in back-to-back seasons only one time since starting his career with three fully healthy campaigns, and he has never played more than six games following a season in which he carried the ball at least 220 times. At almost 30 years old, and with his past injury history pitted against his league-winning upside, he comes into organized team activities as RotoBaller's dynasty RB9. Given the way his last season went, it's likely he is already rostered by a contending team in most leagues, and while he profiles as an obviously risky hold, he remains, paradoxically, far too valuable to sell for the prices he's currently fetching.
