CMC 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.

Christian McCaffrey returns to practice Friday

After being absent from practice on Wednesday and Thursday, RB Christian McCaffrey returned to practice and is anticipated to play against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite missing a pair of practices with a calf injury, McCaffrey isn’t expected to miss any time. McCaffrey played on just 67% of the team’s offensive snaps against the Cowboys, which could be attributed toward either injury limitations or RB Elijah Mitchell’s return. With Mitchell potentially out, McCaffrey could be in line for more work against Philadelphia.
