Christian McCaffrey News
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey carried the ball 15 times for 84 yards and one touchdown in the Niners' 7-31 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. The 26-year-old added four catches for 22 yards and threw an incomplete pass on a trick play. McCaffrey was the focal point of the Niners' offense to an even greater degree than usual, as quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson both suffered injuries. The 49ers continued running the ball heavily even when they were down by three touchdowns because no quarterback was healthy enough to throw the ball. CMC will be an early first round pick in all league types next season.
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) returned to practice on Friday and was removed from the final injury report. Despite missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, he will play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. CMC is dealing with a bruised right calf, but he could be forced into more work if Elijah Mitchell (groin), who is listed as questionable, cannot play or is limited. The 26-year-old was out-carried by Mitchell in last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys, but he should remain the focal point of San Fran's backfield this weekend, albeit in a tough matchup against the Eagles' defensive front. McCaffrey's guaranteed volume (19.5 touches per game for the Niners) will make him worth the DFS cost.
When asked about the chances that San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) doesn't play in the NFC Championship game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, he said "zero." McCaffrey has been held out of both practices so far this week after picking up a bruised right calf in last week's playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Niners called the 26-year-old day-to-day earlier in the week, and they likely held him out as a precaution on Wednesday and Thursday. As long as CMC gets in some work on Friday, he should be ready to roll and should be a big part of the offensive game plan despite being out-carried by backup Elijah Mitchell in the Divisional Round. McCaffrey did very little last Sunday, but he saved his fantasy day by finding the end zone.
