The case for trading Christian McCaffrey

He is arguably the league’s best receiver at the position and has turned in three consecutive seasons with 84.0-plus receiving grades in his first three years in the NFL. That run culminated in a 92.4 receiving grade in 2019, and McCaffrey has shown that he is not only a receiving threat out of the backfield, as his 67 receptions when lined up in the slot or outside since 2017 rank second to only Tarik Cohen among running backs over that period.

After a slow start to his rookie season, it’s safe to say that McCaffrey has developed into one of the league’s best rushers, as well.
