Scored short-yardage touchdown at end of third quarter but played only one snap in fourth quarter last week despite amazing usage through three quarters. Still posted over 20 expected fantasy points through three quarters and can absolutely nuke even if game isn't close. Fair to dock him slightly relative to other amazing plays given blowout risk, but remains strong option within 49ers stack or with Trey McBride as bring-back if game stays closer.PositiveProjectionSep 19, 2026
Christian McCaffrey is a mega-smash tournament play despite 22% ownership. His Week 1 workload was likely suppressed due to the 49ers' non-competitive game against the Dolphins (17-hour flight, blowout scenario). McCaffrey still received all high-value work, leading in targets and routes from the backfield, playing most snaps inside the 20-yard line. On his normal workload, he'd be 50% owned. At 13.5-point favorites against Miami, McCaffrey is an amazing play in tournaments. Additionally, Kalon Black is on the injury report this week, potentially giving McCaffrey even more volume.PositiveUsageJul 7, 2026
McCaffrey is cited as an example of a running back that projects to function like a wide receiver for stacking purposes in DFS, with higher snap rates and receiving volume in trail or neutral game scripts.
