STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCaffrey strong lean vs. 32nd-ranked Raiders run defense; 6-game TD streak.

Christian McCaffrey is a strong lean for Week 9 against Las Vegas, which ranks 32nd in rushing DVOA, 32nd in yards per carry allowed, 31st in rushing yards per game allowed, tied-24th in rushing TDs allowed, and 32nd in receiving DVOA vs. RBs. McCaffrey's touch volume has been curtailed this season to keep him healthy, but he's riding a six-game TD streak coming out of the 49ers' bye. He could see a bigger workload this week due to extra rest and the vulnerable opponent, especially with Brock Purdy having only George Kittle and McCaffrey as reliable targets. The source projects McCaffrey to erupt for 140 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving).
