News: 2 days agoMcCaffrey (Achilles) rushed 13 times for 39 yards and caught six of seven targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Spin: McCaffrey made a successful 2024 debut after missing the first nine weeks of the fantasy season with tendinitis in both of his Achilles tendons followed by a bye. The 28-year-old was not limited in terms of usage or production, hitting the century mark in total yards while handling 19 touches. Backup running backs Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo touched the ball just once each, suggesting McCaffrey will resume his usual workhorse role on offense moving forward. CMC should be considered an elite fantasy play against a struggling Seattle defense in Week 11.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: McCaffrey recorded the most fantasy points per game (24.5) and the third-most fantasy points overall (391) among all players last season. He ranked inside the top three fantasy producers at the position in nearly every statistical category -- from rushing yards (1,459, RB1) and receiving yards (564, RB2) to evaded tackles (77, RB1) and total TDs (21, RB1) -- the 28-year-old stayed healthy for a second straight season. McCaffrey is the centerpiece of the 49ers' explosive offense and he deserves to be at the top of draft boards this summer.
