The Carolina Panthers are trading RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers, according to a report from ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Multiple draft picks are reportedly headed to the Panthers. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
The Panthers fired HC Matt Rhule a week ago, and there were rumors immediately after his removal that McCaffrey and others could be available via trade. On the Carolina side of things, this immediately makes D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard relevant and worth stashing in all fantasy formats. For the 49ers, McCaffrey immediately steps into the lead role in a running back-friendly offense but buries the likes of Jeff Wilson Jr., Tevin Coleman, Tyrion Davis-Price, and Elijah Mitchell for the foreseeable future.
