San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has emerged as the top fantasy option in all formats, especially PPR leagues. He rolled up a career-high 1,459 rushing yards and 5.4 yards per carry while posting 14 rushing TDs and 21 total scores.
While his 67 receptions were his most since 2019 with the Carolina Panthers, it wasn’t close to a career high, as CMC has 2 seasons with 100 or more catches. But when he gets the ball in his hands on a catch, he is consistent, averaging 8.1 yards per reception or more in all 8 of his NFL seasons.
There are arguments which can be made for Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill as the No. 1 overall fantasy pick, but McCaffrey puts up great rushing totals, plenty of red-zone scores, and a boatload of catches and receiving yards, too.
The knock on McCaffrey near the end of his Carolina career was health, as he just couldn’t stay on the field. Those issues appear to be in the rear-view mirror. Below, we look at Christian McCaffrey’s'2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
