49ers Beat: RB Christian McCaffrey appears healthy

The Athletic

Sep 09 · 9:21 AM EDT

Christian McCaffrey seemed unbothered by the calf issue that crept up Thursday, and he did not appear on Shanahan’s Monday afternoon injury report.

Related players: Brian Robinson

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say that despite CMC's 31 touches, the 49ers at least made an effort to give him more breaks than normal. He played 76% of the offensive snaps. By comparison, he played 85% of the snaps in the 2023 opener in Pittsburgh, and that was a blowout win, the story went on to say. Robinson carried nine times for 33 yards. With all the injuries piling up, it's easy to see CMC continuing this pace, especially if he really did escape from Week 1 healthy.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey listed as Questionable for Week 1

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) is officially questionable for Sunday's opener against Seattle.

What's Kyle Shanahan's level of concern about Sunday? "Questionable concern. I'm not going to say anything about Christian, guys." Says it happened yesterday.

Fantasy Impact:

This is quite ominous considering how last season went, but a lot of people are reporting this is more cautious than a serious injury. We should still consider McCaffrey a fantasy RB1 if he's on the field, with Robinson closer to the RB4 range.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) limited in Thursday's practice

49ers are listing RB Christian McCaffrey as limited at today’s practice due to a calf issue.

Related Players: Brian Robinson, Isaac Guerendo

Fantasy Impact:

It feels like we should panic, but players are limited in practice all the time (right?). We'll keep an eye on things but Robinson should be in our queues to plug in as an RB2 in case CMC is sidelined.

Shanahan: 49ers Brian Robinson Jr. brought here to be RB2

ESPN

Aug 25 · 10:34 AM EDT

Kyle Shanahan was firm about Brian Robinson's expected role after San Francisco sent a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Washington Commanders for him last week.

"We brought him here to be our [No.] 2 back," Shanahan said. "I've always been a big fan of Brian. Loved him coming out of college. ... We were pumped that he was available and pumped that we were able to get him."

In 2024, Robinson was third in the league on a third or fourth down of 3 or fewer yards (7.8 yards per carry), though the sample size was just 14 attempts.
Christian McCaffrey will remain the focal point of San Francisco's running game, but Robinson provides an experienced backup who could offer some value in short-yardage situations.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the 49ers were 18th in the league in short-yardage situations, averaging 3.2 yards per rush. The story went on to say Guerendo has struggled to stay healthy. Though he just got back from a shoulder injury, he had a pair of fumbles in a recent practice and is more likely to have an early-season spot on various special teams units.
