Durability Story · Watch

Christian McCaffrey has been durable enough to stay relevant, but not durable enough for managers to stop checking the report every week. Evidence check: injury reports across 8 different seasons; 2 games missed in the last three (2024: 1 and 2023: 1); 2020 was the rough one at 2 missed; longest on-report absence ran 2 weeks in 2020 (Wk 10–11); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Christian is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
