McCaffrey's limited touches (20 in two weeks) require TD-dependent production.

After a quiet Week 1 with only 15 touches for 88 scrimmage yards, McCaffrey finished Week 2 with nearly duplicate totals, with his day largely saved by two rushing touchdowns. The 49ers are comfortable limiting his rushing attempts (only 20 total over the first two weeks) in favor of splitting the work with rookie Kaelon Black to preserve his health. The source notes this drastic reduction in total touches will put a premium on McCaffrey being successful whenever the ball is thrown his way, especially with multiple wide receiver injuries (Demarcus Robinson and Mike Evans) putting added pressure on him to produce.
