  49ers | Big effort from Christian McCaffrey     Mon Feb 12, 12:23 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed 22 times for 80 yards and caught eight passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in a 25-22 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. He also lost a fumble.

Footballguys view: McCaffrey was taking a ton of punishment, but he stayed in the game and helped wear down the Chiefs. We're not sure what more he could have done, but just a bit more McCaffrey might have made a difference for a 49ers team that came up short against the Chiefs.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey delivering for Niners    Sat Feb 10, 12:12 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is averaging 112 yards from scrimmage in five career playoff games with the 49ers, and he has scored six touchdowns, including four in two games this postseason.

Footballguys view: We think this game comes down the play of the backs on each team. The Chiefs have hard-charging Isiah Pacheco, and the 49ers have a do-everything back in McCaffrey. We're certain a big part of the Chiefs' defensive gameplan will revolve around slowing down McCaffrey and forcing QB Brock Purdy to beat them.

Footballguys view: Great news for the 49ers here. McCaffrey got some rest last week during the 49ers' bye week, and now he'll be ready to rock in the Divisional Round. The 49ers play at home on Saturday against the Packers, and Green Bay's top priority will be figuring out a way to slow down McCaffrey.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey to miss Week 18    Tue Jan 2, 07:28 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) will not play in the Week 18 game because of a mild calf strain, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Footballguys view: The 49ers have the no.1 seed in the NFC wrapped up, so Shanahan will be resting some starters in Week 18. Without McCaffrey, the 49ers turn to Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason in the backfield.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey unlikely for Week 18    Mon Jan 1, 09:22 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) is unlikely to play in Week 18 due to a calf strain, in the opinion of NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Footballguys view: The 49ers don't have anything to play for in Week 18, so McCaffrey is going to get some rest before the playoffs. We'll see Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason split time/touches in the 49ers backfield as they play against the Rams at home in the season finale.

Footballguys view: McCaffrey got a lot of teams to the fantasy finals, but he underperformed and left early in the biggest game of the fantasy season. The 49ers have locked up the #1 seed, so we won't see McCaffrey against the Rams next week.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey absolutely punishes Cards    Tue Dec 19, 12:52 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey had a rushing touchdown and two receiving scores in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he has seven total scores against the Cards this season. He is the first player in franchise history with seven touchdowns against a single team in the same season. His seven touchdowns against Arizona ties the most by any NFL player against a team in a single season in the Super Bowl era.

Footballguys view: McCaffrey pretty much punishes everyone, but he's especially dangerous against the Cardinals. The 49ers are pushing for a Super Bowl, and they've got two league MVP candidates in McCaffrey and QB Brock Purdy.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed for 95 yards on 16 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. He also caught six passes for 47 yards during the game.

Footballguys view: The 49ers tried to get McCaffrey a touchdown in garbage time to break the NFL record for consecutive games with a touchdown, but they were unsuccessful. McCaffrey showed no ill effects from the oblique injury that made him a game time decision going into the bye. He'll face a stout Bucs run defense next week.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey still awaiting imaging    Tue Oct 17, 12:43 PM

Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (oblique, rib) is still awaiting results from imaging on his injured oblique area.

Footballguys view: Head coach Kyle Shanahan said they weren't sure if it involves the ribs and oblique or just one, but he's hopeful McCaffrey can play in Week 7. The team has a bye in Week 9, so perhaps McCaffrey should just get some rest as the 49ers are looking to make a run at the Super Bowl. The best chance of that happening is a healthy McCaffrey.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey suffers injury    Sun Oct 15, 03:28 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (oblique) suffered an oblique injury during the Week 6 game and is considered questionable to return.

Footballguys view: McCaffrey did not return. Elijah Mitchell was healthy enough to be active for this one, but Jordan Mason got more touches, and got the touches down the stretch with the 49ers trying to come back late. Mason is probably the better pickup, but Mitchell should also be added in deep leagues with the injury seal broken for fantasy football's #1 running back.
