San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) will not be designated for return from the Reserve/Injured list next week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Huddle Up: Considering McCaffrey has not practiced since early August, it makes it highly unlikely he will be able to play before Week 8 - as expected. The good news is that CMC reportedly started to push his rehab in recent days and did not encounter a setback like the one he had last month. Week 10 has been floated as a possible return to action, although it appears he could beat that timeline without any setbacks.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) is hoping to return at some point in November.
Huddle Up: McCaffrey is currently on the Reserve/Injured list, but fantasy players should continue to monitor the situation to see when McCaffrey returns to practice. He is a must-start option when healthy, but players will have to wait a while longer for his return.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) will not play in the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday, Oct. 7.
Huddle Up: This is no surprise as McCaffrey is still ramping up his workload dealing with Achilles tendonitis. It's still unclear when McCaffrey will be ready, but Jordan Mason remains an RB1 in fantasy until he does return.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) will not be activated from the Reserve/Injured list prior to Week 6's game against the Seattle Seahawks, when he is eligible to return, according to multiple league sources. However, there is mild optimism because his calf and Achilles issues did not flare up after he resumed on-field work this week.
Huddle Up: It remains uncertain when McCaffrey will be activated from injured reserve or when he can begin practicing again. Fantasy owners should keep tabs on this situation to see when he'll be ready to return. RB Jordan Mason will continue to be the starting back for the 49ers and is a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

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.
