SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Buffalo Bills

Christian McCaffrey had 68 total yards on 14 touches last week against the Bills, his lowest output in three games since making his debut in Week 10. You can chalk that up to the lack of overall offense without Brock Purdy. Purdy could return this week which will help take pressure off of CMC. More good news: McCaffrey faces a Bills team that, in half-PPR, ranks 28th in points allowed to opposing running backs. The expected snow may also force both teams to keep the ball on the ground more than usual. CMC is RB3 this week.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Green Bay Packers

Christian McCaffrey is back to a full load. He played 59/63 snaps last week and saw 19 carries against the Seahawks. In total, he had 106 yards on 23 touches. He has reached 100 totals in both games since returning from his Achilles injury. The 49ers may have to rely even more on CMC this week with Brandon Allen starting in place of an injured Brock Purdy. McCaffrey is our RB2 this week against the Packers.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Seattle Seahawks

So much for Christian McCaffrey being eased back in. The 49ers let him loose in his season debut with 19 touches for 107 yards and played 56 out of 64 snaps. It took a while, but the man most of you drafted No. 1 overall is finally intact and ready to take you on a playoff push. For now, it's a Week 11 date with the Seahawks, the league's 26th-ranked rushing defense. McCaffrey is RB1 this week.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Christian McCaffrey is finally ready to raise the curtain on his 2024 season. After dealing with Achilles tendonitis since the preseason, McCaffrey was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will make his season debut against the Buccaneers. The question becomes will the 49ers limit McCaffrey early on. But even a limited McCaffrey can still pay dividends for fantasy purposes. Tampa Bay ranks 19th against the run at about 132 yards allowed per game. McCaffrey has already worked into the top ten in our running back rankings thanks to his big-play ability. He may be limited, but you drafted him high, if not No. 1 overall, for a reason.

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.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Washington Commanders

It’s hard to continue putting into words just how good Christian McCaffrey is. Even in an ugly game for the San Francisco offense on Monday night, he wound up with 131 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. McCaffrey looks like he’s going to eclipse 2,000 scrimmage yards by the end of the season and he has scored a staggering 21 touchdowns.

This week, McCaffrey has a great matchup against a Washington defense that ranks dead last in aFPA to opposing running backs. McCaffrey is a must-start every week, regardless of matchup, but with this opponent, the sky's the limit for his potential production. Keep him active as an elite fantasy option, and be happy you’ve been able to follow him to the fantasy championship.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Christian McCaffrey had another monster game last week against the Cardinals. He ran for 115 yards and a touchdown, and he added 72 yards and two more touchdowns on five receptions. It’s incredible to me that a player of his caliber, who is a focal point for the defense every week, somehow still manages to get wide open. He’s a monster.

This week, McCaffrey has a tougher task against the Ravens, who rank second in aFPA to opposing running backs. Don’t expect nearly 200 yards and three touchdowns, but he’s as matchup proof as it gets. Keep him active as an elite fantasy option once again, and be pumped you have him on your roster.
