Fantasy Impact: McCaffrey was seen on the sideline this past weekend getting his quad worked on. "...But that’s just what Christian to me always does," Shanahan told reporters.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings is officially inactive for a Week 18 matchup with the Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Jennings is still dealing with a concussion and was listed as questionable coming into the weekend. The 26-year-old will miss his third straight game and will look to return in the playoffs.
Trent Williams was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Matt Barrows on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: It is a positive sign for Williams after leaving Monday's loss early against the Ravens. His status will be one to monitor throughout the rest of the week. It is possible he sits a game against the Commanders this weekend.

49ers DB Charvarius Ward is officially active for a Week 15 matchup with Arizona.

San Francisco WR/KR/PR Ray-Ray McCloud III is being placed on the team's injured reserve list with a rib injury. (Source: 49ers.com)
Fantasy Impact: McCloud leads the 49ers in kick returns and punt returns while playing a respectable 25% of the offensive snaps as a WR, making him a versatile role player for the 49ers. With no exact replacement, McCloud's production will likely need to be replaced in aggregate by other players. In Week 13 when McCloud was out, Ronnie Bell handled PR duties and Deebo Samuel handled KR duties, while veteran WR Chris Conley — who signed with the active roster — can fill in as a depth WR.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Talanoa Hufanga tore his ACL in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. (Source: Matt Barrows on Twitter)

Dre Greenlaw is officially inactive for Week 6 because of a hamstring injury. (Source: Eric Branch on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: A hamstring injury will leave Greenlaw sidelined on Sunday. It's not thought to be too serious of an issue, but he will have to miss this game while he nurses his injury. His next chance to play will come in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Niners' defense will feel the negative effect that his absence leaves against the Browns.
Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is good to go for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. (Source: Nick Wagoner on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Aiyuk was out last week thanks to a shoulder injury, but he is recovered now and will head into the weekend without an injury designation. He should play at full capacity and projects to be a strong starting option with Jauan Jennings (shin) likely out and Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) questionable to play against Arizona.
