Christian McCaffrey Removed From Injury Report
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Seattle Seahawks. McCaffrey has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, but it doesn't sound like it's going to sideline him for this contest. McCaffrey played well against Seattle during their most recent matchup in Week 15. He'll be an expensive, but elite DFS option for this weekend. Fantasy managers can decide if they want to take the risk, but at least they know he'll be healthy enough to suit up.
Jan 12, 2023 • 11:49 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Remains Limited Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday. McCaffrey has been dealing with a knee issue for several weeks and has been limited at practice in back-to-back weeks. The 26-year-old hasn't missed anytime and is expected to be available for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seattle Seahawks. CMC rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown while catching six passes for 30 yards in his previous game in Week 15 against Seattle. McCaffrey is an expensive but elite DFS option against the Seahawks defense that allowed the league's third most rushing yards (2,554) in 2022.
Jan 12, 2023 • 2:28 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Limited On Tuesday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) was limited in Tuesday's practice. McCaffrey has been managing a knee issue in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any time and is fully expected to be on the field to kick off the playoffs this Saturday in a wild-card matchup against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 26-year-old is San Francisco's unquestioned lead back, and he should see plenty of work this weekend. In his lone meeting against the Seahawks in Week 15, CMC had a season-high 26 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown and also caught six of eight targets for 30 yards. He's probably the most expensive fantasy RB in DFS this week, but he might be totally worth it against a Seattle defense that allowed the fourth-most half-PPR points this year to opposing running backs.
Jan 11, 2023 • 4:04 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Cleared To Play Against Arizona
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle, knee) returned to practice on Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 18 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. McCaffrey was held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday, leading to some speculation that he may not play this weekend. The 26-year-old will be active against Arizona, but there's not a guarantee that he'll see his normal heavy workload. The Niners still have a shot at the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC with a win and an Eagles loss, but depending on how things are going on Sunday, CMC could be pulled early. He'll also have more competition for backfield touches with the expected return of Elijah Mitchell (knee), who is coming off Injured Reserve.
Jan 6, 2023 • 10:53 PM | RotoBaller49ers Won't Take Any Chances With Christian McCaffrey
The San Francisco 49ers will play it safe with running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle, knee) in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. "If he's not right we won't have him out there. Want him right for playoffs. But if healthy he'll play," general manager John Lynch said. McCaffrey missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday and will most likely be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report if he's able to practice on Friday. The Niners still need to win this weekend and are still in play for the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC, but they won't ride CMC hard if they don't have to. Their priority will be to come out of this game without any injuries to key players like McCaffrey. There's inherent risk in the regular season finale, but if McCaffrey is active, he needs to be in all season-long lineups.
Jan 6, 2023 • 5:34 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Doesn't Practice Again On Thursday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) didn't participate in practice on Thursday. The same ankle issue that has been bothering him for around a month has held him out of some practices but hasn't stopped him from playing in a game just yet. He did play 85 percent of the offensive snaps for the Niners against the Raiders in Week 17. They can still grab the first overall seed in the NFC in Week 18, so McCaffrey will likely still start when they take on the Arizona Cardinals.
Jan 6, 2023 • 3:25 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Not Practicing Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) will not take part in practice on Wednesday. McCaffrey has been dealing with an ankle injury for around a month now, but he hasn't missed any games. The 26-year-old carried the ball 19 times for a season-high 121 yards and a touchdown and also caught six passes for 72 yards in the Week 17 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders on 85 percent of the offensive snaps. The Niners are most likely just taking it easy on CMC heading into their Week 18 game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Niners still have a chance at the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC and a first-round bye (if the Eagles lose), so McCaffrey should at least start Sunday's game.
Jan 4, 2023 • 8:48 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Dealing With Mild Ankle Sprain
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is dealing with a mild ankle sprain and is day-to-day, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. McCaffrey appeared to emerge from a Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders without any issues after seeing 25 touches. It is encouraging that the team is calling the sprain mild, but anytime the oft-injured running back pops up with an issue, it is worth monitoring. Keep an eye on his practice reports throughout the week as the 49ers gear up to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18. Rookies Tyrion Davis-Price and Jordan Mason would probably share the load if McCaffrey is held out of the regular-season finale.
Jan 3, 2023 • 2:50 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Limited On Thursday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) was able to get in a limited practice session on Thursday. This comes as no shock considering McCaffrey has been banged up for roughly a month. Despite that, McCaffrey has not played fewer than 70% of the offensive snaps. The expectation is that McCaffrey will be fine for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update, but he should be out there this weekend.
Dec 30, 2022 • 12:30 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Limited On Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday ahead of a Week 17 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. McCaffrey has been dealing with a knee injury for multiple weeks now but has continued to suit up and produce for fantasy purposes despite having his practice reps limited. Assuming he does not suffer any setbacks this week, fantasy managers should have no concerns rolling with McCaffrey as a sure-fire RB1 in an enticing matchup.
Dec 28, 2022 • 11:52 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Limited Again On Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday. The 26-year-old has been limited at practice over the last four weeks with a knee injury but has yet to miss a game. CMC has been producing for fantasy managers in the previous two weeks, rushing for 227 yards on 40 attempts and two touchdowns while catching eight passes for 64 yards and a score. McCaffrey will be limited at practice the rest of the week but will suit up against Commanders in Week 16. Washington ranks fourth in rush DVOA this season. Despite the tough matchup, McCaffrey remains a must-start versus Washington in Week 16.
Dec 22, 2022 • 2:47 AM | RotoBallerBrock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey Limited Monday
San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy (oblique, rib) and running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) were both listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. Purdy is considered day-to-day after getting banged up in the Week 14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His status could be in doubt heading into Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. If the 22-year-old seventh-rounder cannot play, Josh Johnson would get the start for San Francisco. McCaffrey played 70 percent of the offensive snaps on Sunday and had 14 carries for a season-high 119 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 34 yards and another score. As long as he doesn't suffer any type of setback on the short week, he should be a must-start RB1 on Thursday night against Seattle.
Dec 12, 2022 • 11:48 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel Limited Again Thursday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (quadriceps) were both limited in practice again on Thursday while going through individual drills. CMC and Samuel are on track to play in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they could be questionable on Friday's final injury report. McCaffrey played 81 percent of the snaps in last week's win over Miami and is a no-doubt, must-start RB1 for fantasy managers, even in a tough matchup with a stingy Bucs run defense. Samuel had 63 scrimmage yards in Week 13, but his fantasy stock will take a hit the rest of the way with rookie seventh-round quarterback Brock Purdy taking over the offense.
Dec 9, 2022 • 4:46 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Limited In Wednesday's Practice
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. McCaffrey dealt with the same injury last week but was able to suit up and turn in an excellent performance in a win over the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers should monitor practice reports throughout the week, but assuming no setbacks are encountered, McCaffrey will remain a high-end RB1 for a Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Dec 7, 2022 • 11:53 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Faces Miami In Week 13
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) is a must-start if he plays in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. McCaffrey did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday. It appears the 49ers are limiting him in order to rest his knee. He is likely to play. His volume had been limited in the past two games, but Elijah Mitchell (knee) is now injured and will miss multiple weeks, so there could be less competition for McCaffrey. Rookie RB Jordan Mason could see some carries, but he is unproven. McCaffrey is such an elite dual-threat playmaker that he can put up big numbers, even on limited volume and even if battling injury. He will have to if the Niners are to compete with the Dolphins.
Dec 2, 2022 • 10:53 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Says He'll Play In Full In Week 13
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) was able to get through Thursday's practice session and said he dodged a bullet with his knee issue. CMC said he'll play in full on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. He was able to run at full speed and make catches, so it sounds like the star back is doing well. "I feel great," McCaffrey said. The 49ers are without Elijah Mitchell (knee), so McCaffrey should see a higher usage going forward. It sounds like McCaffrey will suit up this week, so he'll be a must-start for Week 13.
Dec 1, 2022 • 11:25 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Not Practicing
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said McCaffrey "just felt something" in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints. He added that he's hopeful McCaffrey will be able to play this week against the Miami Dolphins. Given his injury history over the past few years, fantasy players have reason to be concerned with McCaffrey's practice status. However, this could be the 49ers being overly cautious with their superstar running back. If he doesn't practice again tomorrow and Friday, fantasy players should start to worry. With Elijah Mitchell (knee) out the next 6-8 weeks with an MCL sprain, Tyrion Davis-Price and Jordan Mason are the next guys up if McCaffrey can't play this week.
Nov 30, 2022 • 7:54 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Dealing With Knee Irritation
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) is dealing with knee irritation and will be managed during the week. McCaffrey was dealing with knee soreness in the Week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints, when he had 11 carries for 32 yards while catching four of his six targets for 17 yards. Given the 26-year-old's extensive history with lower-body injuries, it makes sense for the Niners to play it safe with him heading into their Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. With Elijah Mitchell (knee) out six to eight weeks, CMC could see a larger share of the backfield workload moving forward as long as his knee doesn't get in the way. Rookies Jordan Mason and Tyrion Davis-Price will battle for backup duties the rest of the way. McCaffrey remains a must-start RB1 in fantasy.
Nov 28, 2022 • 11:28 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Active For 49ers Debut
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is officially active for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. There had been some concern that McCaffrey, who was traded from the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night, might not have enough time to learn the playbook and suit up in Week 7. However, the star running back is active and should see snaps versus the Chiefs, especially in red-zone packages. Consider him a high-end RB2 this week and a high-end RB1 going forward.
Oct 23, 2022 • 7:02 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Expected To Make 49ers Debut On Sunday
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 26-year-old had 393 rushing yards, 277 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns in his six games with the Panthers this season before he was traded to the Niners. It's unknown how head coach Kyle Shanahan plans on utilizing McCaffrey. At the same time, he'll likely see enough snaps in Week 7 to lower the ceiling of Jeff Wilson Jr. With that said, McCaffrey should remain a must-start despite the risk of a limited workload.
Oct 23, 2022 • 5:13 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Has Good Chance To Play In Week 7
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has a "good chance" to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. He likely won't have a huge role in the 49ers' offense, but he reportedly could be deployed near the end zone. McCaffrey fantasy managers will have to decide whether the risk is worth taking, but if he's going to be active, it's tough to bench him. Fantasy managers who are loaded at the running back spot may opt to bench him, though. Ultimately, this is a tough situation to navigate and there's a lot of risk involved with his fantasy outlook for his first game as a 49er.
Oct 21, 2022 • 5:14 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Up In The Air To Play In Week 7
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he's not sure if running back Christian McCaffrey will make his debut for the team in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs after the team acquired him late Thursday night from the Carolina Panthers. "I'm still up in the air whether we're going to be able to get him here for Sunday or not," Shanahan said. "I know for sure he'll be here the following Sunday. But that's kind of why I'm in a wait-and-see approach right now." Shanahan doesn't anticipate talking with CMC until after Friday's practice. There's not expected to be any complications, but McCaffrey will also have to take a physical before he's allowed to play with the team. The 26-year-old will be an extremely risky play if he's active for the Niners this weekend, with Jeff Wilson Jr. likely seeing most of the work in what will probably be his last fantasy relevant week.
Oct 21, 2022 • 4:00 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Traded To The 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers acquired Pro Bowl running back Christian McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night in exchange for undisclosed draft picks, according to sources. McCaffrey will return to the Bay Area, where he played at Stanford in college. McCaffrey will take over as the lead back in San Francisco, basically rendering Jeff Wilson Jr. useless for fantasy purposes moving forward. CMC will join a better offense and should become more attractive in fantasy. He entered Week 7 as the No. 4 RB in half-point PPR leagues with 85 carries for 393 yards and two touchdowns while adding 33 catches for 277 yards and another score. Back in Carolina, D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard should split backfield duties for a rebuilding Panthers team.
Oct 21, 2022 • 3:26 AM | RotoBallerPanthers Want Multiple First Round Picks For Christian McCaffrey
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is reportedly on the trade block. The organization has decided to go into rebuild mode and are listening to offers on their superstar back. However, the Panthers want multiple first-round picks in exchange for their prime trade assets, which includes McCaffrey. The oft-injured McCaffrey is a stud when healthy, but keeping him on the field has been a nearly impossible task. It's hard to imagine any team giving up multiple first rounders for McCaffrey right now. Possibly, the Panthers will lower their asking price. Otherwise, it's likely that McCaffrey remains in Carolina for awhile.
Oct 16, 2022 • 4:37 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Could Be Traded
The Carolina Panthers are reportedly listening to trade offers for running back Christian McCaffrey. Unsurprisingly, Carolina is receiving considerable interest from other teams in the former All-Pro. A deal is not guaranteed to be completed ahead of the league's November 1st trade deadline, however. The Panthers, despite recently firing head coach Matt Rhule, are not having a fire sale and will reject any proposals they do not consider to be serious. McCaffrey has been one of the most productive backs in the NFL when healthy, and it is unlikely he is traded for anything less than a package including early-round draft capital or multiple picks.
Oct 15, 2022 • 10:41 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Active In Week 4
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) is officially active for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. He missed two days of practice and was listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game. Evidently, he felt well enough during pregame warmups to play. The 26-year-old has totaled 243 rushing yards, 57 receiving yards, and one touchdown while ranking as the RB12 in fantasy football. He should continue to be started in all leagues.
Oct 2, 2022 • 6:43 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Will Go Through Pregame Warmups
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) is currently listed as questionable heading into the Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. However, it sounds like the team wants McCaffrey to go through his pregame warmups. The team wants to see McCaffrey out on the field before they make their final decision. All signs are pointing to McCaffrey being active, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. He will be a must-start, assuming he's active. The Cardinals do have a strong run defense, but McCaffrey remains one of the best backs in the league when healthy.
Oct 2, 2022 • 2:48 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Likely To Suit Up In Week 4
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) is expected to play in Week 4 against Arizona, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. The veteran missed a few practices throughout the week before logging a limited session on Friday, so it appeared he was at least trending in the right direction. McCaffrey has played in all three of the Panthers' games this season, accumulating 243 yards and a touchdown off 50 carries while catching 10 passes for 57 yards. Fantasy managers should navigate this situation carefully, especially since McCaffrey's official designation won't be revealed until after Sunday's first set of games commence. However, if he gets the green light, he's a must-start despite a semi-challenging matchup versus an adequate Cardinals run-stopping unit.
Oct 2, 2022 • 5:15 AM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Listed As Questionable
The Carolina Panthers are listing running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals due to his quadriceps injury. McCaffrey's injury woes continue, although he will reportedly give it a shot on Sunday. The 26-year-old missed the first two practices of the week before returning to a limited session on Friday, which at least gives him a chance to play this weekend. However, the fact that the Panthers play in the later slate of games on Sunday will make him an even riskier proposition in case you leave him in your starting lineup and he's ruled out. If CMC isn't allowed to play, the Panthers will likely split the backfield duties between D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard.
Sep 30, 2022 • 4:00 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Spotted At Friday's Practice
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) is participating in the start of Friday's practice. He did not practice the last two days due to a thigh injury but will practice in some fashion on Friday. The 26-year-old is trending in the right direction towards suiting up for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. He has rushed for 243 yards on 50 attempts and a touchdown while catching 10 passes for 57 yards over three games in 2022. CMC is expected to play and is a must-start against a Cardinals defense that ranks 30th in rush DVOA this season.
Sep 30, 2022 • 2:10 PM | RotoBallerOptimism That Christian McCaffrey Plays In Week 4
There is optimism that Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) plays in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals despite the fact that he has missed two practices this week with a thigh injury. McCaffrey has kept the injury close to the vest, but barring a setback, he should be OK for Sunday's game. The oft-injured 26-year-old has played in all three weeks so far this year, but this new thigh issue is concerning for fantasy managers. A return to practice on Friday would ease everyone's mind heading into the weekend, but there's a good chance he'll still be listed as questionable. If CMC is active, he'll be a must-start in fantasy. If he doesn't play, the Panthers will likely use some combination of D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard in the backfield.
Sep 29, 2022 • 9:10 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Not Practicing On Thursday
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) was held out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday after he popped up on the injury report this week with a thigh injury. McCaffrey has missed 23 of his past 36 games going back to the 2020 season, so fantasy managers should likely prepare for the worst this week. His participation in Friday's practice will be a better indication of his status for Sunday, so check back in to see if he gets in at least a limited session. If he isn't able to suit up against the Cardinals, Chuba Hubbard and D'Onta Foreman would likely split backfield touches. Both could have some FLEX upside in deeper leagues if this is the case.
Sep 29, 2022 • 5:51 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Misses Practice With A Thigh Injury
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) missed Wednesday's practice. The superstar running back has dealt with injuries the past several years, missing 23 of the past 36 games because of various injuries. Despite his long list of injuries, fantasy players shouldn't be concerned about McCaffrey's availability for the Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran running back has popped on the injury report a few times this season but hasn't missed any games. However, fantasy players should explore potential replacement options if McCaffrey misses practice again on Thursday and Friday.
Sep 28, 2022 • 7:05 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Off The Week 3 Injury Report
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle), who dealt with some ankle stiffness earlier in the week, has been removed from the Week 3 injury report and will play on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. McCaffrey was limited in practice on Thursday, but he should be fine for this weekend's action. The 26-year-old oft-injured back played 91 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the New York Giants and ran for 102 yards on 15 carries, adding 26 yards on four receptions. He'll face a Saints D that has allowed 136.5 rushing yards per game through two contests so far in 2022. As long as he's active, CMC will continue to be a must-start RB1 for fantasy managers.
Sep 23, 2022 • 3:09 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Added To Injury Report
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) was able to get in a limited practice session on Thursday. The stud back has been added to the injury report in two of the first three weeks of the season. At this point, fantasy managers should be used to McCaffrey being on the injury report. It sounds like he's still dealing with some stiffness in his ankle, but is expected to play in Week 3. McCaffrey is a strong RB1, assuming he's able to suit up against the New Orleans Saints. Fantasy managers will have to check back again on Friday.
Sep 22, 2022 • 10:56 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey Off The Week 1 Injury Report
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shin) is off the injury report and is good to go for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. McCaffrey suffered a laceration from a cleat in practice and popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday, but was a full participant in practice. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief after hearing about his prior injury designation, as the 26-year-old has struggled to stay on the field since the 2020 season. The dual threat is an elite option this week and should be started in all fantasy lineups.
Sep 9, 2022 • 6:33 PM | RotoBallerChristian McCaffrey On The Week 1 Injury Report
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shin) was added to the Week 1 injury report with a shin injury on Thursday, but he was a full participant in practice. Fantasy managers are already cringing seeing McCaffrey on the first injury report of the season, but thankfully this injury is unlikely to keep him sidelined for the regular season opener this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Apparently CMC suffered a cut on his shin from a cleat, so it's nothing to worry about. The 26-year-old has struggled to stay healthy the last two seasons, but if he's on the field, he has as much upside as any back in the league. As long as he's active against Cleveland this weekend, he should be in all starting fantasy lineups.
