2025 Fantasy Outlook
McCaffrey had every chance to make his mark as a third-round rookie last year, but his early playing time never translated to production, and eventually the snaps dried up as well - he took just 37 snaps on offense in three playoff games. His prospects for a larger role in 2025 don't look great after the Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel and spent a fourth-round pick on Jaylin Lane, both of whom are candidates for slot work. McCaffrey may even have to battle for a roster spot this summer, having yet to live up to the family name (his brother is Christian, and his father Ed). Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $5.6 million contract with the Commanders in May of 2024.
Impressive all-purpose effort
McCaffrey caught two of three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown and added 199 yards on six kickoff returns in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wideout found the end zone for a second straight week, snagging a five-yard TD from Marcus Mariota in the second quarter to get the Commanders on the board. McCaffrey has seen only six targets over the last two weeks, but he's turned them into a 5-77-2 line, and he's becoming a special-teams weapon with the new kickoff rules. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) likely to remain on the shelf and Noah Brown (groin) having missed the last two games, McCaffrey could find his role in the offense increasing in Week 5 against the Chargers, especially if Jayden Daniels (knee) returns to elevate the entire passing game.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Recruited to Nebraska as a quarterback, McCaffrey transferred to Rice in 2021, converted to wide receiver in 2022 and then did enough over the next two seasons to become a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. It was a bit of a surprise to see him go that early, though perhaps it shouldn't have been in light of his first-rate NFL bloodlines (Ed's son and Christian's brother). After catching 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 19 TDs over the past two seasons, McCaffrey heads to the NFL as a 23-year-old rookie on a team with poor WR depth behind Terry McLaurin. McCaffrey's numbers from the combine - including a 4.46 40 at 6-2, 196 pounds - suggest his athleticism is at least adequate for an NFL wideout, so he won't automatically be limited to the slot. That might be his best shot at Year 1 playing time, however, especially after the Commanders traded Jahan Dotson to Philadelphia in August.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for elevated role again
McCaffrey is set to operate as no less than the Commanders' No. 2 receiver in Sunday's game against the Chargers after both Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown were ruled out for the contest, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McLaurin will sit out a second straight game due to his quadriceps injury while Brown will remain sidelined for a third consecutive contest because of groin and knee issues. Consequently, McCaffrey will have a chance to extend his touchdown-catch streak to three games, having produced a 6-77-2 line over the first two games of Brown's absence.
