No one on the 49ers saw more rushing attempts than McCaffrey in 2025: 311 of the 481 they called in the 17 regular season games he played. He is listed at 5-11 and 210 pounds, taller than 53 percent of the 197 running backs on a 2026 roster and lighter than 58 percent of them. He ran into eight or more defenders in the box on 26.8 percent of his carries, a stacked box more often than 57 percent of the 37 backs the league's tracking data qualified in 2025. The 17 defenses on the 49ers' 2026 schedule gave up 117.5 rushing yards a game last season; the 17 they met gave up 113.0.

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
