McCaffrey: 26 touches in Week 7, managed despite monster workload.

McCaffrey posted 9 catches and 16 carries in Week 7, his highest opportunity total of the season (26 total touches). The 49ers continue to manage his workload intentionally despite the monster output; he's averaging 17 opportunities per game this season versus 18-19 last year through five weeks, with the team prioritizing long-term health and playoff availability over record-breaking regular-season production.
