SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Washington Commanders

Christian McCaffrey had another great game last week, gaining 138 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and six receptions. McCaffrey now has at least one touchdown in each of his last three games. The 49ers are going to have a hard time keeping him off the field now that they get an every-week look at how dynamic he is.

This week, McCaffrey has a tough matchup against the Commanders, who rank fifth in aFPA to opposing running backs. Still, McCaffrey’s usage and his versatility make him a must-start every game, regardless of opponent. We have him ranked inside our top three running backs this week. Start him.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Seattle Seahawks

Christian McCaffrey had a great game last week in a lopsided victory over the Buccaneers. He had 119 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and added 34 yards and another score on a pair of receptions. This was despite the 49ers essentially running the clock out with Jordan Mason for much of the final quarter.

McCaffrey should thrive once again this week against Seattle. The Seahawks rank 30th in aFPA to opposing running backs and the offense should run through McCaffrey, particularly with Deebo Samuel expected to miss time. He’s a must-start, with explosion potential in any given game, and we have him ranked as our top overall running back for Week 15.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Christian McCaffrey had a nice game against the Dolphins last week, gaining 148 total yards from scrimmage and scoring a touchdown on 17 carries and eight receptions. He also had 10 targets and didn’t seem to suffer at all from the quarterback change to rookie Brock Purdy. That’s a great sign, considering Jimmy Garoppolo will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.

This week, McCaffrey faces a Buccaneers defense that ranks 14th in aFPA to opposing running backs. McCaffrey’s usage and talent in all aspects of the offense make him a must-start regardless of the matchup, but expect high-end production in this one. We have McCaffrey ranked as a solid RB1 and he should be active in all leagues.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Miami Dolphins

Christian McCaffrey was held to just 32 yards on 11 carries last week and is dealing with a knee irritation that has him day-to-day right now. He added four receptions for 17 yards, but it was a disappointing day overall for McCaffrey managers.

This week, McCaffrey faces a Dolphins defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Watch the injury reports carefully for any signs of him missing the contest, but if he’s active, he should get a steady workload - especially with Elijah Mitchell now out for an extended period. Start him as a solid RB1 option in all formats.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New Orleans Saints

Christian McCaffrey didn’t find the end zone last week and he was held to 39 yards on seven rushing attempts. However, he caught all seven of his targets, adding 67 receiving yards and turning in a solid fantasy performance in the end. Featuring McCaffrey in the passing game while sprinkling in a handful of carries has been good for the team, and probably for McCaffrey’s longevity as well and the 49ers’ offense has been humming since he’s been added to the roster.

Expect McCaffrey to continue to be featured this week in an average matchup against the Saints, who rank 16th in aFPA to opposing running backs. The 49ers seem to have found a nice split with McCaffrey and second-year back Elijah Mitchell, without limiting McCaffrey’s fantasy potential. His receptions and touchdown upside make him a must-start every week and we have him ranked as a RB1 option again in Week 12.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Arizona Cardinals

Christian McCaffrey has three games as a 49er and he has three touchdowns - plus one passing touchdown - so any concerns about his dynamic playmaking in a new uniform can be laid to rest. While he was limited to 38 yards on the ground last week, he still found the end zone and added 39 yards on four receptions. McCaffrey has 54 touches in three games, including 14 receptions, so he should continue to thrive in this offense.

This week, McCaffrey has a great matchup against a Cardinals defense that ranks 27th in aFPA to opposing running backs. He’s a must-start in any matchup, but especially in this one, and fantasy managers shouldn’t even consider benching him.

SF RB Christian McCaffrey - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Christian McCaffrey threw for a touchdown, ran for one, and caught another one against the Rams before the bye last week. He also had 94 yards rushing and 55 yards on eight receptions. This is the kind of production that has made him a fantasy darling for much of his healthy career, and he seems to have gelled perfectly and quickly into this 49ers offense.

McCaffrey has an excellent matchup against a struggling Chargers defense that ranks 31st in aFPA to opposing running backs. While another trio of touchdowns shouldn’t be expected, elite fantasy numbers are very likely once again for the talented former Panther. Start McCaffrey as an elite option in all formats.
