Why It Matters: Another ho-hum day of at least 80 total yards and a touchdown at the office for CMC. While it is true that McCaffrey isn't putting up the prodigious numbers he did last season, the 49ers are doing a great job of keeping him healthy by managing his workload (he has yet to touch the ball 20 times in a game yet in 2026). Consider him a surefire RB1 again next week against the Washington Commanders.
