Draft note

by John Paulsen

Christian McCaffrey is the first running back off the board for good reason. He finished as the RB1 in 2023 after an RB2 finish the year before. Last season, he scored 358 (half-PPR) fantasy points, which was over 100 more than the RB2, Raheem Mostert. He just turned 28 years old, so age isn’t much of a concern. There was some question whether he would see a mega workload with Elijah Mitchell healthy, but Mitchell’s status didn’t matter–McCaffrey averaged 21.2 touches per game, which was second only to Kyren Williams. He should continue to be the focal point of the 49ers’ highly-efficient offense.

Schefter: 49ers placing Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve

Adam Schefter

Sep 14 · 1:22 PM EDT

The 49ers are placing RB Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) on injured reserve, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers had been leaning in this direction. They will now be without CMC for at least the next four weeks, meaning he will miss games against the Vikings, Rams, Patriots and Cardinals. He'll probably also miss a fifth game, as the 49ers have a short week after the Cardinals game before a Thursday night game in Week 6 against the Seahawks. Perhaps he can return for the Super Bowl LVIII rematch in Week 7 against the Chiefs. For now, it will be the Jordan Mason Show after his huge Week 1 performance against the Jets -- 28 carries, 147 yards.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Is there any doubt on Christian McCaffrey at this point? What a season he had in 2023. He finished with over 100 points more (in half-PRR) than Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (and Mostert tied McCaffey with 21 total touchdowns!). The 49ers' offense runs through McCaffrey. There's not much to say about McCaffrey. He's only 28, so age isn't a factor, he's healthy and he's explosive. He's RB1 and is in the conversation as the overall No. 1 player in drafts.
