San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was named the 2025 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award. He led the 49ers in both rushing and receiving yardage in 2025, totaling over 2,000 scrimmage yards after playing just four games in 2024.
Huddle Up: It was a wild season for CMC, who managed to stay mostly healthy while others around him fell like flies. He left the NFL with 413 total touches, and that's a bit of a red flag for fantasy managers heading into 2026. He has had a propensity for injury, and after such a heavy workload, the injury potential is likely for next season. Buyer beware when we get closer to draft time.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey eclipsed 2,000 yards from scrimmage for the third time in his career in 2025, and in the seasons after his previous two 2,000-yard campaigns, he played in a combined seven games. "You've got to be ready to play in the games as much as possible," McCaffrey said. "I'll do whatever it takes for this team."
Huddle Up: McCaffrey handled a league-high 413 touches this season, and running backs that handle such a heavy workload don't always find the same success the following year. He is one of the most productive backs in league when healthy, but the injury potential is something to consider when selecting McCaffrey in 2026 drafts.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (stinger) returned to the Divisional Round game against the Seattle Seahawks after exiting with a stinger.
Huddle Up: It looks like McCaffrey will try to play through the injury, but it remains to be seen if it will impact his effectiveness. Regardless, it looks like McCaffrey avoided any type of long-term injury.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) did not start the second half of the Divisional Round game against the Seattle Seahawks after being checked out by trainers at the end of the second quarter.
Huddle Up: The exact nature of the injury remains to be seen, but Brian Robinson Jr. should handle of a bulk of the backfield duties as long as McCaffrey is sidelined.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey faces the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round, and McCaffrey gained 92 rushing yards on 30 carries in two meetings with Seattle in the regular season.
Huddle Up: Granted, McCaffrey also caught 15 passes for 107 yards in the two meetings, but he was held out of the end zone and couldn't find any running room. His heavy workload is going to result in a solid yardage total and plenty of receptions, but fantasy owners may want to think twice before building lineups around McCaffrey in playoff contests.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: McCaffrey finished the regular season with 2,126 total yards and should see plenty of touches in both the running and passing game during the playoff game. He is must-start option in all fantasy leagues.
