Christian McCaffrey had a decent day as a rusher with 39 yards and a touchdown, including season-highs with 2.2 rush yards over expected per carry and a 71.4% rushing success rate.

McCaffrey avoids serious thigh injury; monitor closely for Week 8.

McCaffrey had a decent day as a rusher with 39 yards and a TD, including season-highs with 2.2 rush yards over expected per carry and a 71.4% rushing success rate on 14 opportunities against 26 (0.41 per snap; 0.49 in Week 6). He caught 6 of 7 targets (17.1%) for a season-high 61 yards on 23 routes. However, he suffered a thigh injury in the first half (Q2 12:04) and returned (Q3 8:53), playing 34 of 49 snaps (69%) after the injury. The source states: 'It seems like McCaffrey avoided any serious injury, but fantasy managers should take no chances when it comes to rostering Black. He should not be dropped over bye weeks because we could all be shocked if, in two weeks, CMC is still not 100%.'
