2025 Fantasy Outlook
Everything went wrong for McCaffrey in 2024, as what was called a calf strain in early August ended up being Achilles tendinitis in both legs and delayed his season debut until Week 10. The 49ers had suggested he was on track to play Week 1, right up until gameday, yet they denied any setbacks had occurred even after he went on injured reserve. Whatever the case, McCaffrey was not quite himself upon his Week 10 return, immediately handling snap shares above 80 percent but averaging just 3.5 YPC over his first three games. He got off to a hot start in his fourth game, Week 14 at Buffalo, only to suffer a season-ending PCL sprain in the second quarter. He once again was all-or-nothing in terms of durability/injury luck, playing fewer than eight games for a third time in the past five years (whereas his other five NFL seasons all featured 16 or 17 regular-season appearances). He said in early January that he was almost back to full strength, having avoided surgery in the offseason. San Francisco's offensive line is a slight concern with guard Aaron Banks off to Green Bay and left tackle Trent Williams turning 37 in July, but it's generally a poor bet to fade a Kyle Shanahan offense, and McCaffrey is still (barely) on the right side of 30 and just two years removed from his 2023 career highs for rushing yards (1,459) and YPC (5.4).

RANKS
Racks up 142 yards from scrimmage
McCaffrey (calf) handled 22 carries for 69 yards and nine receptions for 73 yards on 10 targets in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
McCaffrey shook off any concerns from popping up on the injury report late in the practice week by handling 31 combined touches in a tight victory over a division foe to kick off the regular season. Newly-acquired backup Brian Robinson (9-33-0) was the only other back to receive a carry outside of McCaffrey. The 49ers didn't have the luxury of taking a cautious approach with its star running back after TE George Kittle (hamstring) and WR Jauan Jennings (shoulder) both left Sunday's contest due to injury. McCaffrey could continue to see extra work as a receiver if either of his banged-up teammates are forced to miss next Sunday's road matchup against the Saints.

McCaffrey was the consensus RB1 and first fantasy pick from 2019 to 2021, but injuries in 2020 and 2021 left his ranking up for review after two dud years. That didn't last long. Not only has McCaffrey's health cooperated the last two years, he now has the privilege of playing in a top-three offense. Even with sky-high usage the last two years (516 carries, 152 receptions), McCaffrey's efficiency was at/near a league-leading level (5.0 yards per carry, 6.8 yards per target). Volume is normally a slight downward pressure on efficiency -- the more a defense expects you, the better they tend to defend you -- but McCaffrey has been unstoppable in San Francisco no matter how aggressively opponents try to slow him. While his previous injury troubles raise the understandable fear of similar problems occurring in the future, McCaffrey's overall track record of availability (79 percent of possible games) is about normal for a heavily used RB. Rather than fretting over McCaffrey's past injuries, the more useful frame would be to consider that injuries are likely the only way for any other running back to catch him in the fantasy rankings. That's a statement that would apply to very few running backs throughout history, as a talent like McCaffrey in a scheme like San Francisco's yields an almost perfect projection.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offensive unit in shambles
McCaffrey could face the Saints in Week 2 without Brock Purdy and Jauan Jennings in addition to George Kittle due to multiple injuries, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Purdy has toe and shoulder injuries that head coach Kyle Shanahan has already conceded makes him a "long shot" to play against New Orleans, while Jennings is now managing a shoulder injury in addition to his lingering calf issue. Meanwhile, Kittle is already on injured reserve due to the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1, and the dire circumstances could conspire to leave McCaffrey as even more of a focal point of the opposing defense than usual in New Orleans.
