49ers sign RB Israel Abanikanda; RB Christian McCaffrey to IR

Pro Football Talk

Dec 03, 2024 · 6:09 PM EST

The 49ers were down to one healthy running back on their active roster, so they added another one off the waiver wire on Tuesday.

The NFL’s daily transaction report shows that they have claimed Israel Abanikanda off of waivers from the Jets. Abanikanda was let go on Monday when the Jets signed running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu to the 53-man roster.

Christian McCaffrey was officially moved to injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Related players: Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor, Ke'Shawn Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

Guerendo is expected to take over the team's RB1 role with Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason both heading to IR. Abanikanda should be a familiar name to those in dynasty circles. He was a 2023 fifth-round pick but at the time was buried on the depth chart with the Jets, and he never earned much of a role on offense and didn’t play in the regular season this year, the story said. He appeared in six games as a rookie and ran 22 times for 70 yards while catching seven passes for 43 yards, the story added. The team also signed Vaughn to their practice squad.

49er RBs Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason go on IR

Per Kyle Shanahan, 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey us going back on IR with his PCL injury.

Related players: Isaac Guerendo, Deebo Samuel, Jordan Mason

Fantasy Impact:

It’s a 6 week recovery time for CMC, the post went on to say. It's possible he could return if the Niners make a long playoff run, but for this fantasy season, McCaffrey is done. Sandler, in a separate post, mentioned that Mason will also go on IR with a high ankle sprain, leaving Guerendo as the assumed RB1. The Niners will have to make a move to bring in more running backs, but the team did trade up in the fourth round to pick Guerendo, so it's possible they give him a legit chance the rest of the season. He should be a popular pickup off the wire this week.

Shanahan: Potential season-ending PCL injury for Christian McCaffrey

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday’s game that running back Christian McCaffrey suffered a potential season-ending PCL injury in his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s been that kind of season for the 49ers, who have been decimated by injuries and fell to 5-7 after their 35-10 loss to the now five-time reigning AFC East champion Buffalo Bills. After missing the first eight games of the season with an Achilles injury, McCaffrey finally made his debut in Week 10. He’ll end up playing just four games this season. Not exactly what fantasy owners were hoping for when they spent a high draft pick on him. A vast majority of fantasy leagues saw McCaffrey go No. 1 overall. So it’s back to Jordan Mason, who rushed 13 times for 78 yards, one of the lone bright spots on a night where almost nothing went right offensively for the 49ers. Brock Purdy didn’t even reach 100 yards passing. Overall, it was yet another forgetful night for the reigning NFC champions and it’s the end of the line in 2024 for one of the most exciting running backs in the league.

Christian McCaffrey questionable to return with what team is calling knee injury

San Francisco 49ers

Dec 01, 2024 · 9:13 PM EST

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey went to the locker room with what the team is calling a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

McCaffrey is questionable to return. McCaffrey took a toss early in the second quarter and went down on his own accord. The team initially said a knee injury but there is concern, though nothing official, that the injury could be his calf or even his Achilles again. Jordan Mason is now handling most of the backfield work while CMC is out.

Edit: McCaffrey may have injured his knee on the previous play before the toss. Him going down on the toss may have been more of him not feeling right when he started running. Either way, it’s an unfortunate setback after he waited quite a long time to finally play this season.
