Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Christian McCaffrey

RB3 tier: calm down, 8 targets beat 2024 average, elite offense

Ian Hartitz ranks McCaffrey as RB3 and urges owners to remain calm despite reduced week 1 workload (18 combined carries/targets). McCaffrey's 8 targets exceeded his 2024 per-game average; he gained 6+ yards per carry and was one of only 8 RBs to gain 3+ yards after contact on 50%+ of carries. The 49ers offense is elite, and McCaffrey's workload remains very good despite being lower than expected. Hartitz projects McCaffrey could finish RB5 overall rather than RB1, but emphasizes there are far bigger issues facing fantasy teams. McCaffrey has more than enough opportunities for a three-down role.
