Christian McCaffrey

Christian McCaffrey said he's "definitely close" to fully recovered from knee injury that ended his season.

Fantasy Impact

McCaffrey said he would have been able to return had the 49ers made the playoffs. Instead, he will rehab to make a full recovery by the start of the offseason program.

Christian McCaffrey (knee) has been placed on injured reserve by the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

McCaffrey will miss at least the next six weeks according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, ending the running back’s regular season. With backup Jordan Mason (ankle) also headed to injured reserve, Isaac Guerendo will now likely be thrust into a starting role, making the third-string running back worthy of a waiver pickup ahead of Week 14.

The 49ers have ruled out Christian McCaffrey for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

McCaffrey had gone down by himself before heading to the locker room. It was reportedly a contact injury from the play prior. There should be further updates on his status early this upcoming week. Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo will handle the carries for the rest of the game.

Christian McCaffrey has left the 49ers game against Buffalo with a non-contact injury and has headed to the locker room. The severity is unknown but the Niners staff has called it a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

McCaffrey went down without having been touched by anyone. He limped off to the sideline and has since gone to the locker room. Jordan Mason has come in at running back for the Niners.

Christian McCaffrey carried the ball 11 times for 31 yards and caught three passes for 37 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact

McCaffrey didn't play very well on Sunday. He totaled 68 yards over the course of the afternoon on poor efficiency and wasn't able to get into the end zone at all, which left him with a modest fantasy total. He should bounce back and be elite once again whenever Brock Purdy (shoulder) is back in the lineup for San Francisco.
