Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is dealing with tendinitis in both of his Achilles tendons, according to general manager John Lynch.
Huddle Up: McCaffrey is currently on the Reserve/Injured list and does not have a timetable for his return. Fantasy players will need to continue to monitor the situation to see when he will play again. Jordan Mason will continue to be the starting back for the 49ers and is a weekly starting option in leagues.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is slated to resume running on hard ground during the coming week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He is targeting a return to action by early November.
Huddle Up: Fantasy owners should continue to stash McCaffrey in their IR slot, since he is one of the league's top players when healthy. Jordan Mason has performed well in his absence and should continue to be viewed as an RB1 option in fantasy leagues for the time being.

Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) isn't expected to be out all season, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Huddle Up: It was a bit of a coy "not that I know of" response, which Mike Florio notes that he's not buying. There was a report last week that midseason could be the target date, which puts Week 6, when he's eligible to return, in doubt. Jordan Mason remains an RB1 in CMC's absence. He's the RB9 in non-PPR formats and RB14 in PPR.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) is scheduled to meet with a specialist in Germany to have his Achilles injury examined.
Huddle Up: McCaffrey is currently on the Reserve/Injured list because of the injuries and does not have a timetable for his return. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to see if he receives a timetable after the visit. Jordan Mason will continue to be the starter while McCaffrey is sidelined and should be a weekly starting fantasy option.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) may need at least six weeks to recover from Achilles tendinitis, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He is reportedly not in danger of tearing his Achilles but the injury is hard to get rid of and makes it difficult to run.
Huddle Up: McCaffrey was officially placed on injured reserve Saturday, Sept. 14, and would not have returned to action before Week 6's game even in a best-case scenario. RB Jordan Mason will continue to be used as San Francisco's main rushing threat and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues. RBs Isaac Guerendo and FB Kyle Juszczyk could also see an increased workload in McCaffrey's absence.

Updating an ongoing story, San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, Sept. 14. He is eligible to return in Week 6 at the Seattle Seahawks.
Huddle Up: After days of speculation, McCaffrey was placed on IR ahead of Week 2 action, which saves the team a game he was scheduled to miss anyway. The four-week absence means RB Jordan Mason will man the primary role of the backfield, and we could see a hint of RB Isaac Guerendo sprinkled in. However, after Week 1's utilization, look for FB Kyle Juszczyk to get more opportunities than the rookie. Stash CMC as long as it takes, and be diligent on the waiver wire if you were unable to secure the services of Mason.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) had his worst health day in terms of pain Thursday, Sept. 12, and is now a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Huddle Up: McCaffrey would have to miss at least four more games if he is placed on IR, so fantasy players can monitor the situation over the next several days. Jordan Mason will be the main running back while McCaffrey is out and should be a starting option in all leagues.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) has been ruled out of the Week 2 game.
Huddle Up: Jordan Mason is coming off an outstanding Week 1 performance and will receive another start with McCaffrey unable to play. Mason is a must-start option in all leagues as long as McCaffrey is sidelined.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) continues to deal with the unpredictability of Achilles tendinitis, according to general manager John Lynch, who admitted not knowing if the running back will play in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings.
"Don't know that. He's dealing with this Achilles tendinitis. It's one of those deals that can be feeling good one day, and then the next day it flares.... Primary in our mind is the long view. He changes us, he makes us different. but it's also nice to see that we can function without him," Lynch said.
Huddle Up: The good news is McCaffrey continues to practice in a limited fashion. The bad news is that he hasn't practiced in full all summer. At this point, it seems likely that the 49ers will sit him down for at least one more week. Jordan Mason fared exceptionally well in his stead on Monday night against the New York Jets and should be considered a quality RB1 option versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 if McCaffrey ends up not playing again.
