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.
Held without a catch in Week 7 loss
McCaffrey failed to secure either of his two targets during Washington's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He did field eight kickoff returns, racking up a total of 209 return yards (long of 41).
ANALYSIS
McCaffrey wasn't able to take advantage of absences of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Noah Brown (groin/knee, IR) and Deebo Samuel (heel) versus Dallas, though the departure of quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) early in the second half didn't help matters. He had scored in three of four contests leading up to the Week 7 loss, but versus the Cowboys all of rookie fourth-rounder Jaylin Lane, veteran receivers Chris Moore and Robbie Chosen and tight end Zach Ertz finished with more targets and yardage than McCaffrey, That will make him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a tough primetime matchup against the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 27 in Week 8, especially if Daniels is unable to go and Marcus Mariota draws the start at QB.

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
Another chance for more targets
McCaffrey is in line for an elevated role against the Bears on Monday due to the absences of fellow wideouts Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Commanders could also be without Deebo Samuel, who did not practice all week while tending to a heel injury. McCaffrey has not seen more than three targets in each of the first five games of the regular season, though his snap count on offense has increased over the last three weeks, during which he accumulated six catches on eight targets for 127 yards and two touchdowns. His role in the offense would grow even further if Samuel is sidelined, which would leave McCaffrey, veteran Chris Moore and rookie fourth-rounder Jaylin Lane as the Commanders' only three wide receivers signed to the active roster heading into Monday's tilt.
