McCaffrey's Week 1 usage was limited due to muscle tightness; normal role expected soon.

McCaffrey nursed a mysterious 'muscle tightness' during training camp and saw limited usage in Week 1 against the Rams, with the 49ers appearing to intentionally manage his workload. Dwain McFarland noted that losing touches between the 20s matters for 20+ PPG projection; McCaffrey averaged 14.2 PPG between the 20s last year (8.2 receiving, 6.0 rushing). It's highly likely CMC will assume a role much closer to expectations once the muscle tightness subsides and the team returns to normal games.
