San Francisco's RB Christian McCaffrey scored 29.00 fantasy points in Sunday's Superbowl loss in Kansas City. McCaffrey ran for 80 yards and caught eight passes for 80 yards with one touchdown. McCaffrey scored at least 25 fantasy points nine times during the regular season.

Dynasty | 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had 80 rushing yards, eight catches, 80 receiving yards and one touchdown in a Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs. Dynasty Analysis: As usual, McCaffrey was most of the 49ers offense but he just couldn't get loose and break a big play against a stout and well-coached Chiefs defense. McCaffrey is also going to be haunted by a rare lost fumble that happened to occur on the first drive of the game as the 49ers were marching towards the end zone. Regardless, there just isn't a better weapon in fantasy football than McCaffrey and he will be the favorite to be the overall RB1 again next season. He's aging and that's going to start decreasing his dynasty value so managers are going to have a decision to make at some point - the problem is he can single-handedly win you a league almost any season.

Predictably, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was heavily involved in the team's 25-22 Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The newly-minted Offensive Player of the Year took 22 carries for 80 yards, plus eight receptions on as many targets for another 80 yards and a touchdown. The 21-yard touchdown reception improbably came from wide receiver Jauan Jennings on a trick play. It's hard to blame McCaffrey for the loss after 160 all-purpose yards, but besides the touchdown he was pretty well bottled up by Kansas City's defense, averaging just 3.6 yards on the ground while not gaining any chunks longer than 11 yards. CMC will once again enter 2024 fantasy drafts worthy of consideration for the No. 1 overall pick.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will make his first Super Bowl appearance against the Kansas City Chiefs as the top option at running back for fantasy players. The former Carolina Panther and Stanford star has torn up the NFL in his seventh year, averaging a whopping 21.7 half-PPR points in full games while only producing fewer than 15 points twice. There is little reason to believe McCaffrey won't finish the year in a similar vein especially since Kansas City's elite pass defense will probably funnel the 49ers into leaning heavily on McCaffrey in the running game. The Chiefs spent the regular season as a top-10 rush defense but McCaffrey has risen to the challenge consistently against quality rush defenses, most recently in the NFC Championship Game versus the Detroit Lions, who finished the regular season as the single toughest opponent for fantasy running backs. In that game, he went for 132 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. McCaffrey is sure to be expensive for DFS players. Still, he's as close to a sure thing as they come, especially considering it's almost impossible to imagine a game script that significantly diminishes his involvement.

Dynasty | San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey has won the AP's Offensive Player of the Year Award. Dynasty Analysis: It was just another year for fantasy football's most dynamic weapon. McCaffrey set a career high with 1,459 rushing yards, added 67 catches for another 564 yards and scored 21 times. Now 27 and with eight years in the league, there are other running backs who have passed him in many of our rankings. However, he remains the single biggest weapon on a year-to-year basis. If you have him on your dynasty roster, you likely competed all season long. There will be a time where managers may need to cash out on our RB4 but that doesn't seem to be right now.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was named the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year on Thursday. McCaffrey is basically one of a kind in today's NFL. The 27-year-old not only helped lead the Niners to Super Bowl LVIII, but he was the most dynamic overall offensive player in 2023. He finished the regular season with a career-high 21 total touchdowns while totaling 2,023 yards from scrimmage in 16 games played. CMC had a league-high and career-high 1,459 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns on 272 attempts, adding 67 receptions (83 targets) for 564 receiving yards and seven TDs through the air. McCaffrey isn't without his injury risks, but when he manages to stay healthy, it's hard for any other RBs to even hold a candle to his fantasy upside.

San Francisco's RB Christian McCaffrey scored 29.20 fantasy points in Sunday's playoff win against the Lions. McCaffrey ran for 90 yards and caught four passes for 42 yards with two touchdowns. McCaffrey scored at least 25 fantasy points eight times during the regular season.

It was a tale of two halves for San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey in Sunday's 34-31 victory over the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game. In the first half, McCaffrey struggled to find open field against a stout Detroit run defense and gained just 3.3 yards per carry. McCaffrey has been the engine of San Francisco's potent offense all year, so it is no coincidence that the largest comeback in NFC Championship Game history featured CMC ramping up to 5.9 per carry in the second half. All told he took 20 rush attempts for 90 yards and two touchdowns while adding four catches on five targets for 42 yards receiving. The Niners have now punched their ticket to Las Vegas and Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs. McCaffrey will represent the top fantasy play at any position in the rematch of Super Bowl LIV.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed 20 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns and caught four passes for 42 yards to help the 49ers rally from a 24-7 deficit and defeat the Detroit Lions 34-31 in the NFC Championship Game.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey enters Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Detroit Lions in Santa Clara as -- yet again -- the alpha option in fantasy. Last week against Green Bay the dual threat racked up 128 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. Detroit's run defense was stellar during the regular season, only allowing 14.1 half-PPR points to opposing running backs, which was tops in the league. They finished strong as well, maintaining No.1 status over their last five regular season games. In the playoffs, the Lions held Rams breakout back Kyren Williams to 61 yards on the ground and the Bucs' Rachaad White to 55 yards. However, McCaffrey has been as matchup-proof as they come, putting up 21 and 18.8 fantasy points against the second and third-ranked Rams and Bucs run defenses, respectively. DFS players willing to spend on McCaffrey should look forward to a solid day even if Detroit stifles the 49ers' rushing attack early, as San Francisco likely shifts his usage into the passing game.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was seen on the sidelines getting his quadriceps worked on during the win over the Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Saturday night, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said the star running back isn't dealing with an injury. "No, I heard about that on the TV [broadcast] because some of my family members asked me about it," Shanahan said. "But that's just what Christian to me always does. He's always working on his body and stuff. I was told nothing about his quad." CMC strained his calf in Week 17 and was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale, but he looked fine in his return against Green Bay, rushing for 98 yards on 17 carries while scoring two touchdowns. He'll once again be the highest-priced RB at DraftKings for the Championship round of the postseason this weekend.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps) doesn't have an issue with his quadriceps, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Fantasy Spin: CMC was pictured getting work done on his quadriceps on the bench, and Shanahan said that's something he always does for body maintenance. McCaffrey is the top option in fantasy playoff pools.

San Francisco's RB Christian McCaffrey scored an impressive 31.80 fantasy points in Saturday's playoff win against the Packers. McCaffrey ran for 98 yards and caught seven passes for 30 yards with two touchdowns. McCaffrey scored at least 25 fantasy points seven times during the regular season.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey propelled his team to a 24-21 comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in Santa Clara. The most productive back in the NFL took 17 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns on the ground while hauling in seven of 12 targets for 30 yards. McCaffrey's name has been swirling around as an MVP candidate and though the award usually goes to a quarterback, it's hard to imagine the 49ers winning Saturday's game without him. His first TD was vintage McCaffrey, a 39-yard explosion fueled by vision, power, and agility. His second was a 6-yard plunge with 1:07 left in the game and San Francisco trailing. He'll be the top play at running back in fantasy next Sunday in the NFC Championship Game regardless of whether the 49ers play the Detroit Lions or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final injury report for the Divisional Round of the playoffs. After sitting out in the Week 18 regular season finale and during the team's bye in the wild-card round, CMC is good to go for Saturday's game against the Green Bay Packers despite straining his calf in Week 17. Even coming off an injury and having not played the last two weeks, the 27-year-old is easily DraftKings' highest-priced RB for the Divisional Round. He's been worth paying up for all year in DFS lineups, as he led the NFL at his position in scrimmage yards and should remain heavily involved on the ground and through the air against Green Bay. The Packers defense was a top-15 matchup for opposing RBs in terms of half-PPR points allowed per game in the regular season as well.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (back) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 18, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.

Fantasy Spin: McCaffrey has been able to rest his injured calf for a few weeks and should be able to handle his normal workload against the Green Bay Packers. He is a must-start option in all leagues when healthy.
