McCaffrey has quietly built a useful niche: he can work inside, compete at the catch point and help on returns. The 2025 touchdown rate hints at red-zone usefulness, but the next step is earning more consistent offensive volume in a deep room.
Strengths: Contested-catch competitiveness, return value, size for a slot target, and growing red-zone awareness.
Weaknesses: His receiving volume remains modest, and he must sharpen separation and route consistency to move beyond a complementary role.
