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. Read Past Outlooks

Snap count drops in Week 15
McCaffrey reeled in his lone target for no gain and played 12 of the Commanders' 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Coming out of a Week 14 bye, the Commanders placed No. 2 wideout Noah Brown (kidney) on injured reserve, but his absence didn't open up any more opportunities for McCaffrey. In fact, McCaffrey saw his snap count on offense get cut in half from the Commanders' previous game, when he logged 22 snaps in a Week 13 win over the Titans. Though the Commanders lost Brown to IR, Jamison Crowder (calf) was activated prior to Sunday's game and ended up leapfrogging McCaffrey in the pecking order at receiver, finishing fourth in snaps behind fellow wideouts Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus. The 2024 third-round pick out of Rice has struggled to find his footing during his rookie season, recording just 17 receptions for 155 yards on 21 targets through 14 games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be Commanders' WR2 for Week 5
McCaffery could slide into the No. 2 wide receiver spot behind Terry McLaurin after Noah Brown was ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a groin injury, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
McCaffrey has seen his snap count dip slightly over the past two regular-season games, but he should see an uptick in playing time in Week 5 with Brown sidelined. McCaffrey has caught all seven of his targets for 79 yards through the first four games of the year, but he should get some additional looks from quarterback Jayden Daniels if the Browns' secondary hones in on McLaurin.
