Christian McCaffrey or De'Von Achane?

Christian McCaffrey or De'Von Achane? Both are RBs. Here is what each man's 2025 season was actually built on, updated Aug 17, 2026.

Christian McCaffrey leads on share of his team's offensive snaps and rushing attempts, and also on receiving expected points added — one side of that is opportunity, the other is efficiency, and they have not historically travelled together.

De'Von Achane's edge sits in rushing yards over expected and rushing yards over expected per attempt — efficiency rather than opportunity, and the file measures that as the less repeatable half.

Figures are 2025 verified play-by-play (nflverse); scored Half-PPR. Repeatability is measured from year-over-year persistence across 2016 to 2025, not projected. Muffed publishes no projections, draft grades or start/sit advice.

A dash means the panel holds no qualifying figure for that player — usually too few games or attempts to clear the metric's floor, not a zero. Ranks are the source's own, against the population shown.

Christian McCaffrey: MIXEDDe'Von Achane: VOLATILE

Christian McCaffrey leads on share of his team's offensive snaps and rushing attempts, and also on receiving expected points added — one side of that is opportunity, the other is efficiency, and they have not historically travelled together. De'Von Achane's edge sits in rushing yards over expected and rushing yards over expected per attempt — efficiency rather than opportunity, and the file measures that as the less repeatable half. Of the two, Christian McCaffrey's season rests on the steadier ground. That is a statement about what each man's production was built on, not a running order — and it is a description of 2025, not a forecast of 2026.

“Repeats” is measured year-over-year persistence across 2016 to 2025 — opportunity carries between seasons, scoring rate largely does not. This describes what a 2025 season was built on. It is not a forecast, and Muffed publishes no projections, draft grades or start/sit advice. How we measure it.
