Fantasy Football Draft Advice: Christian McCaffrey
Here’s our 2023 fantasy football outlook for Christian McCaffrey.
Christian McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers prior to the team’s Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. But it didn’t take long for him to take on a massive role, going for 40-plus fantasy points in just his second game in a San Fran uniform. He would go on to lead all running backs in fantasy points scored from Weeks 8-17 averaging 20.5 fantasy half-points per game (also first). From Week 8 onward (13 games, including postseason play), CMC averaged 19.5 points per game and 17.3 expected fantasy points per game. Both would have ranked first among all RBs in 2022. McCaffrey averaged nearly 20 touches per game – 76% average snap share in non-blowout games – while catching nearly five balls per game as PFF’s third-highest-graded running back. Even with the 49ers opening the season with a very crowded offense in 2023, McCaffrey, while healthy, is the best bet to see the highest production among the talented group in the Bay Area.
