Christian McCaffrey (41.70) led Week 15 in fantasy scoring, giving him 100.40 fantasy points in his two games vs. the Cardinals. James Cooks (36.10) posted the runner-up scores, followed by Kyren Williams (26.80). Six other running backs scored between 20.00 and 25.00 fantasy points in PPR scoring. Here are the top five backs by scoring average after 15 weeks:
- Christian McCaffrey (25.36)
- Raheem Mostert (18.34)
- Travis Etienne (16.91)
- Rachaad White (16.24)
- Alvin Kamara (15.62)
Also, check out FullTime Fantasy‘s Week 16 DFS QB Report.
Top Tier Options
Rachaad White, TB (DK – $7,400/FD – $7,700)
White comes into this week as the highest-priced running back due to the highest options not playing on the main slate on Sunday. He scored seven touchdowns over the past seven games, gaining 765 yards with 21 catches (20.79 FPPG in DraftKings scoring). White averaged 21.57 touches over this span. His only game with more than 20.00 fantasy points at home came in Week 2 (21.30).
The Jaguars slipped to 17th in running back defense (23.16 FPPG), with three teams scoring more than 30.00 fantasy points. Over the past six weeks, they allowed seven touchdowns to rushers with fading value defending the run (168/816 – 4.9 yards per carry). Running backs have 94 catches for 654 yards and one score on 115 targets.
The Bucs’ offense played better over the past two weeks (nine touchdowns and four field goals over 21 possessions) while playing six of their last eight games on the road. White comes off back-to-back 20+ fantasy points game while trending much higher in the run game over his previous four matchups (15/100, 20/84/1, 25/102, and 21/89 – 4.6 yards per rush). He has a solid floor and an untapped ceiling. The SHARPS will ride this BAMF to the winner circle in Week 16.
Bijan Robinson, ATL (DK – $6,500/FD – $7,100)
In the most crucial week in the season-long games in the high-stakes market, Robinson gave his fantasy supporters…

Week 16 Quarterback Report
Week 16 NFL Quarterback Report Last week, 16 quarterbacks scored at least 20.00 fantasy points in four-point passing touchdown leagues. Baker Mayfield (34.05 fantasy points) had centerstage on the podium in Week 15, followed by Jared Goff (33.90) and Aidan
Last week, 16 quarterbacks scored at least 20.00 fantasy points in four-point passing touchdown leagues. Baker Mayfield (34.05 fantasy points) had centerstage on the podium in Week 15, followed by Jared Goff (33.90) and Aidan O’Connell (28.40). Dak Prescott (8.40) was the bust of the week, crushing fantasy teams looking to win league and overall championships. Here are the top five quarterbacks by scoring average after 15 weeks:
- Josh Allen (26.85)
- Jalen Hurts (26.00)
- Dak Prescott (23.09)
- Brock Purdy (23.05)
- Lamar Jackson (22.60)
Using our Week 16 Fantasy Football Rankings, let’s break down this week’s field in the FullTime Fantasy Week 16 NFL Quarterback Report.
Top-Tier Options
Dak Prescott, DAL (DK – $7,900/FD – $8,500)
With three Monday games and two matchups played on Saturday, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes are off the main state on Sunday. The Bills dominated the time of possession vs. Dallas, thanks to their best success running the ball (49/266/3) in years. Prescott posted his worst game (134/0) passing the ball since Week 1 (143/0). Over his seven road starts, he averaged 233 combined yards with only nine touchdowns and five interceptions. His only playable game away from Dallas came vs. the Eagles (388/3).
Miami moved to 16th defending quarterbacks (18.64 FPPG) after holding the Jets to 2.80 fantasy points in Week 14. Eight other quarterbacks scored fewer than 20.00 fantasy while having their most significant failure in two matchups (BUF – 334/4 and PHI – 300/3). The Dolphins held opponents to fewer than 190 yards passing in five of their past seven games. Only one team has more than two passing touchdowns.
Prescott is one of the top projected quarterbacks on the main slate on Sunday. But his play on the road doesn’t support his current salary. If Miami plays from the lead with Tyreek Hill back in the starting lineup, Dallas will need to throw the ball to win. Not ideal, but I can’t dismiss a bounce-back game.
Tua Tagovailoa, MIA (DK – $7,800/FD – $8,000)
Despite having two top 10 wideouts (Tyreek Hill – 97/1,542/12 and Jaylen Waddle – 71/064/4), Tagovailoa ranks 12th in

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 16
Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 16 Following last week’s blowout between two sub-.500 teams, Week 16 offers a pairing of NFC playoff contenders. The Rams and Saints enter this game at 7-7 and in the thick of the playoff picture.
Following last week’s blowout between two sub-.500 teams, Week 16 offers a pairing of NFC playoff contenders. The Rams and Saints enter this game at 7-7 and in the thick of the playoff picture. FullTime Fantasy’s Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 16 breaks down what is a must-win game for both teams.
The visiting Saints have won two straight and are tied for the NFC South lead. At +42, New Orleans has the fourth-best points differential in the conference. However, they must contend with traveling on a short week to face an LA squad that has won three consecutive games at home.
Additionally, Los Angeles has averaged 33 points per game in their last four. This Rams offense is now healthy and will pose problems for a New Orleans defense that has struggled when facing teams that are capable of moving the ball up and down the field.
The game opened with the Rams being favored by 4.5 points with a total of 44.5.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| New Orleans Saints | 14 | 14 | 19 | 18 | 12 |
| Los Angeles Rams | 8 | 11 | 11 | 7 | 9 |
On paper, these two teams are more evenly matched than it seems. However, the Saints have an edge defensively. At least they did until recently. The Saints pass rush has slowed and the team has dipped to 24th in run defense.
Meanwhile, the Rams have had issues defending the run. However, the return of Kryen Williams has had a significant impact on the team’s offensive resurgence. Also, in the last five games, Matthew Stafford is the overall fantasy QB5.
For this game, the Saints are looking at their own significant addition with ace No. 1 wideout Chris Olave returning after a 1-game absence.
This is the first away game for New Orleans since dropping a 24-15 game to the Falcons in Week 12. Meanwhile, the Rams have been thriving at home and have not lost to the Saints as hosts since 2009.
How will Thursday’s Saints vs. Rams game go?

Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report We have reached the fantasy football semi-finals It is hard to imagine any roster surviving unschated by this point. FullTime Fantasy‘s Fantasy Football Injury Report catches you up on the latest injuries around the league that will impact your Week 16 lineups. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 16. We will continually update this list. Tyreek Hill (WR) Miami Dolphins – Hill nearly suited up last week, so there is optimism that he will be good to go in Week 16. Miami was easily able to dispatch the hapless Jets without Hill. However, a Christmas Eve matchup against the Cowboys should be much more challenging. I expect Hill to be close to 100% and will keep the Discord Channel updated. Ja’Marr Chase (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Chase suffered an AC joint separation and is week-to-week. Normally, this injury would take 2-4 weeks to recover from, so fantasy managers should plan on not having Chase in their lineups for the remainder of the fantasy season. However, if he beats that timeline and the Bengals remain in the Wildcard chase, it is possible Chase could play next week, so don’t drop him quite yet. Michael Pittman (WR) Indianapolis Colts – The hit that forced Pittman to exit Week 15 resulted in a concussion and a suspension. Hopefully, Pittman will be able to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol this week. Of course you eject Damontae Kazee for this hit. Michael Pittman Jr. doesn’t deserve a brain injury – or spine – for trying to make a great catch. (He got a #concussion) It’s a new day in sports. These are human beings first. We can adjust how we play. pic.twitter.com/agYEGM5khw — Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. (@ChrisNowinski1) December 16, 2023 C.J. Stroud (QB) Houston Texans – Stroud is still on the NFL’s concussion protocol. As of Tuesday, Stroud isn’t particularly close to returning to practice. Additionally, the Texans have a tough matchup against Cleveland’s top-ranked defense. Stroud managers should plan on starting another signal-caller in the semi-finals. UPDATE: Aaron Wilson has all but ruled Sroud out. #Texans signing Tim Boyle to practice squad one day after they didn’t get Nathan Rourke on waiver claim. C.J. Stroud remains in #NFL concussion protocol, still has symptoms, per sources. Texans are preparing Case Keenum to start second game in a row with Stroud not set to return… — Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) December 19, 2023 Jonathan Taylor (RB) Indianapolis Colts – After missing three games, Taylor will return to practice this week. This is an excellent sign that he will play in Week 16. Conversely, the timing is impeccable. Zack Moss exited last week’s win with a shoulder injury. Josh Jacobs (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – The quad injury that kept Jacobs out of Thursday’s game is not a long-term condition. Jacobs should return to practice this week. When he does, he will take back control of the Raiders’ offense. Trevor Lawrence (QB) Jacksonville Jaguars – The Jaguars are reeling. Now, the team’s quarterback must clear the NFL’s concussion protocol before he can return to practice. Nearly two-thirds of players miss at least one week after being diagnosed with a concussion. With Trevor Lawrence in concussion protocol, the Jaguars are signing quarterback EJ Perry to their practice squad, per his agent @seanstellato. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 19, 2023 Geno Smith (QB) Seattle Seahawks – Reports indicate that Smith was very close to playing on Monday Night Football. However, Pete Carroll elected to err on the side of caution in the rainy weather. With another week off to heal his groin injury, we expect Smith to start in Tennessee. Nico Collins (WR) Houston Texans – Collins is dealing with a calf injury but there is optimism that he will return this week. Keenan Allen (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – LA’s season is over, so there is no real reason for the team to bring Allen back before he’s 100%. This week’s practice attendance will be telling and he’s off to a bad start by missing Tuesday’s session. Christian Watson (WR) Green Bay Packers – This has been a lost season for Watson. However, after missing two more games with another hamstring ailment, Watson may return in Week 16. If he can get in a full practice session this week, expect Watson to play. Chris Olave (WR) New Orleans Saints – Some good news: Olave appears to be trending in the right direction. Only a walkthrough today for the Saints, and we didn’t see everyone. However, Chris Olave was present during the open portion of practice made available to the media. — John Hendrix (@JohnJHendrix) December 19, 2023 Rhamondre Stevenson (RB) New England Patriots – Stevenson is still dealing with a high-ankle sprain. However, there is a chance he will return to practice this week. We will have an update as New England’s Sunday Night game approaches. Marquise Brown (WR) Arizona Cardinals – Brown’s heel injury popped back up in Week 15. Brown has only topped 50 receiving yards once since Week 5. There is little reason for the Cardinals to trot Brown back out in a lost season. Therefore, fantasy managers can move on. Jayden Reed (WR) Green Bay Packers – Reed injured his toe in the fourth quarter of Green Bay’s Week 15 loss. Reed has been Green Bay’s top wideout. However, a turf toe injury could sideline him for the rest of the fantasy season. We should know more about his status as the week progresses. Kenny Pickett (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers are expected to start Mason Rudolph this week. However, Pickett returned to practice on Tuesday and could presumably be
FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 15
Happy Holidays Everyone! Round One of the 2023 FullTime Fantasy Football playoffs is now complete. Stars being studs, like RB Christian McCaffrey, studs being duds, like QB Dak Prescott, plus some unlikely hero’s, like WR Jordan Addison, contributed to major moves in the overall standings. Here is a look at the Top 30 Leaderboards from our four Major FFWC XI Tournaments. Fantasy Football World Championship Massive is an understatement when it comes to changes in the FFWC XI overall standings. Of the 30 teams that entered the week at the top of the leaderboard, just eight remain following Week 15 action. The race to claim the $150,000 top prize is close as the top ten teams are separated by just 25.54 points. Two-time FFWC Champion, Chad Schroeder, is one of the teams remaining in the Top 30 as his Cocktails and Dream 1 squad jumped from seventh to first overall. Christian McCaffrey (41.7), James Cook (36.1), and Sam LaPorta (28.6) helped Chad post 207.9 points. That was the fourth-highest FFWC XI Week 15 total and exceeds Chad’s 161.67 regular season average. Making a huge leap, team Ruthless m5 jumped from 116th to second place overall. Led by C. McCaffrey, Jaylen Waddle (28.2), and Tee Higgins (22.1), Evangelos Lilas’ squad piled up a FFWC XI Week 15 high 214.95 points. Picking the perfect time to get hot that is well above the 14-week 148.17 regular season average for his FFWC Online 8/22 9 PM ET squad. Jumping from 133rd to third place overall, Nugget III made a massive move as well. Led by J. Cook, S. LaPorta, plus Kyren Williams (28.5) and Ty Chandler (24.7), Justin Herron posted 213.7 points. That’s the second-highest Week 15 total as seven of Justin’s eleven starters posted at least 21.9 points. Slipping one position, despite a big week, Mr Yellow Stickers dropped from third to fourth overall. Co-owned by a Father/Son duo, Ralph and Mike Schlissberg’s FFWC CIRCA 9/9 3 PM PT squad posted 192.4 points. C. McCaffrey, J. Cook, K. Williams, and Brock Purdy (28.1) helped Mike and Ralph post the tenth-highest Week 15 score. They also exceeded their 164.71 weekly average. Adding a second team to the top five, Justin Herron guided his Nugget II squad from 148th to fifth overall. Another team led by James Cook, plus Amon-Ra St. Brown (24.2) and Davante Adams (24.1), Justin’s FFWC Online 9/4 10 PM ET team racked up 208.4 points. That was the third-highest total and made Nugget II the biggest mover during Week 15 action. Click the CHAMPS PLAYOFFS button on the FFWC Online 8/23 10 PM ET league page, which is home to our current overall leader, to view the Championship Round standings. Circa Las Vegas Fantasy Championship Our inaugural Circa Las Vegas Fantasy Championship tournament leaderboard looks very different following the Week 15 action as well. Of the 30 teams that started the week on the LVFC leaderboard, just seven remain. In the race to claim the $50,000 first-place prize, six teams posted at least 202.70 points. Those squads now occupy the top six positions in the overall standings. Jumping up 57 spots, team Chills moved from 58th to first overall on the LVFC playoff leaderboard. Led by Christian McCaffrey (41.7), a season-high 34.85 points from Baker Mayfield, plus Jordan Addison (29.1) and Kyren Williams (28.5), Curt Hills racked up 222.15 points. That’s the highest Week 15 score across our four FullTime Fantasy tournaments. One of the few original Top 30 teams, still on the board, Margin Call moved from 21st to second overall. Another team led by C. McCaffrey, K. Williams, and S. LaPorta, Brad Sutherlin’s Circa LVFC SLOW 6 squad scored 202.7 points. That’s the fifth-highest LVFC Week 15 total and well above Margin Call’s 160.51 points per week average. Brad added a second team to the Top 30, as his Junction Boys crew jumped from 290th to 28th overall. Moving into the Top 30, Team Taylor climbed from 40th to third overall. Selected early during the 2023 FTF draft season, Charlie Taylor’s Circa LVFC 6/16 10:30 PM ET squad racked up 203.4 points. During the seventh LVFC draft of the year, Charlie was the first Owner to select C. McCaffrey with the first overall pick. Jared Goff (33.9), J. Addison, and Terry McLaurin (26.1) helped Team Taylor post the fourth-highest Week 15 LVFC total. Making a big leap, team ElbowsRingers moved from 199th to fourth overall. Daryl Dorsey’s Circa LVFC Top Golf 9/8 7 PM PT squad posted 210.2 points. C. McCaffrey, J. Cook, and Brock Purdy (28.1) helped lead ElbowsRingers to the second-highest LVFC Week 15 total. Now sitting as the 53rd and 62nd highest-scoring wide receivers, Tee Higgins (22.1) and Noah Brown (22.2) both posted a big number as well. Rounding out the top five, Mr Yellow Stickers IV jumped from 93rd to fifth overall. Mike Schlissberg’s Circa LVFC VEGAS 9/7 11 AM PT team posted 202.5 points, which was the sixth-highest Week 15 LVFC score. J. Cook, Cooper Kupp (25.1) Ty Chandler (24.7), and Davante Adams (24.1) led the way for Mike. Running hot, in three of our four tournaments, Mike has an impressive six teams on the LVFC Top 30 leaderboard. Click the CHAMPS PLAYOFFS button on the Circa LVFC PATRIOT 3 7/3 league page, which is home to our current overall leader, to view Championship Round standings. Dynasty Fantasy World Championship Tournament Our Dynasty Football World Championship leaderboard was also hit with a ton of changes. Somewhat surprising, given that most of the playoff teams are stacked with talent, just seven of the original Top 30 teams remain on the leaderboard after the first round. In the race to claim the $10,000 first-place prize, seven teams posted at least 200.35 points. Five of those squads sit in the top five overall standings. Moving up 40 positions, from 41st to first, GetPaddled is our new overall DFWC tournament leader. Christian McCaffrey (41.7), Jared Goff (33.9), and Jaylen Waddle (28.2) helped Greg Dietzler’s DFWC 9

Congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals. Only the best of the best- or luckiest- teams make it this far. However, more untimely injuries complicate rosters in this penultimate week. FullTime Fantasy‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16 breaks down all the players you should ahead of your semi-final matchup.
Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Chandler was our top add last week and came up huge, posting the best game of the season for any Minnesota running back with his 157-yard performance. If somehow Chandler slipped through the cracks and is still available, do whatever it takes to add him to your roster.
Noah Brown (WR) Houston Texans – Brown led Houston’s depleted receiving corps in snaps (66) and posted a massive 32.4% target share. Even when Nico Collins returns, Brown is cemented into a solid role with a Texans offense that will have C.J. Stroud back under center. Subsequently, he has WR3 value for the remainder of the season.
Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – With Keaton Mitchell’s season over, Hill should…

Week 15 DFS: Tight End Report
The Browns/Jaguars game delivered the top two tight ends for Week 14. Evan Engram (11/95/02 had the best game of his career, coming on the heels of scoring his first touchdown (9/82/1) the previous week. David Njoku (6/91/2) also scored twice. The Rams decided not to cover Isaiah Likely on his 54-yard scamper for a touchdown, setting up a Mark Andrews-type day (5/83/1). Hunter Henry (19.00) and George Kittle (16.60) rounded out the top five in fantasy points. Here are the top five tight ends by scoring average after 14 weeks:
- Travis Kelce (15.28)
- T.J. Hockenson (15.22)
- Sam LaPorta (13.58)
- Evan Engram (13.16)
- George Kittle (13.10)
Here are the top plays this week via the Week 15 DFS: Tight End Report. Also, check out the Week 14 DFS: QB Report, RB Report, and WR Report.
Elite Option
Travis Kelce, KC (DK – $7,600/FD – $7,500)
Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been able to get Kelce rolling over the six weeks. Over this span, he caught 32 of his 44 targets for 371 yards and one touchdown, leading to only steady fantasy production in five games (11.80, 16.40, 15.10, 12.10, and 14.30). His recent stats don’t command his current salary. Kelce has one impact game (12/179/1) and a pair of 20.00-point outcomes (22.70 and 21.40), all coming between Week 5 and Week 7. Over his past five matchups, he averaged seven targets (8.9 in 2022 and 8.4 in 2021).
New England climbed to sixth in tight end defense (56/500/1 on 82 targets). Foster Moreau is the only tight end to score vs. the defense. The Raiders (7/94) and Bills (9/85) had the most success in fantasy points. Overall, the Patriots’ opposing TEs have 696 catches for 6,848 yards and 41 touchdowns on 1,007 targets, coming to 10.63 fantasy points per game (the best tight end schedule in the league).
Kelce should reach 100 catches with more than 1,000 yards receiving again this year, giving fantasy teams an edge at the tight end position. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been as wide as in 2022 (5.93 fantasy points per game over the second-ranked tight end). His matchup looks below par, and his salary commands 30+ fantasy points to be an edge. The Chiefs need to find their offensive identity after losing three games (53 combined points) over the past four weeks. I can dismiss him due to Kelce being the top target in Kansas City’s offense with scoring upside…

Week 15 DFS: Wide Receiver Report
Week 15 DFS: Wide Receiver Report Deebo Samuel (34.00) led last week in fantasy points after taking home the runner-up prize the previous week (35.80). Drake London (29.20) posted his best game of the season to finish second, followed by
Deebo Samuel (34.00) led last week in fantasy points after taking home the runner-up prize the previous week (35.80). Drake London (29.20) posted his best game of the season to finish second, followed by D.J. Moore (26.80) and Cooper Kupp (25.50). Only four other wideouts scored 20.00 fantasy points or more. Eight of the top 10 wide receivers for the week ranked outside the top 20 in scoring in PPR formats coming into Week 14. Here are the best five players by scoring average after 14 weeks:
- Tyreek Hill (24.93)
- CeeDee Lamb (21.90)
- Keenan Allen (21.57)
- A.J. Brown (19.75)
- Ja’Marr Chase (18.49)
Also, before we get into the Week 14 DFS: Wide Receiver Report, check out the QB Report and RB Report
Elite Option
CeeDee Lamb, DAL (DK – $9,200/FD – $9,200)
Over his last five games at home, Lamb had 45 catches for 605 yards and seven touchdowns on 64 targets, highlighted by his play in Week 8 (12/170/2), Week 10 (11/165/2), and Week 13 (12/146/1). He has a touchdown in five straight games (six totals). He is on pace to catch 126 passes for 1,748 yards and 12 touchdowns on 171 targets.
Buffalo sits 13th vs. wideouts (156/1,741/12 on 224 targets), with only two teams (JAC – 20/223/1 and CIN – 16/216) gaining more than 200 yards. CB Taron Johnson (42/364/3 on 53 targets per PFF) handles most of the Bills’ coverage out of the slots, where Lamb lines up on about 60% of his snaps.
The Cowboys’ top wide receiver has been tremendous over his last eight games. Lamb’s matchup isn’t ideal. But he should have an edge over all of the Bills’ cornerbacks. His salary is now top-shelf, requiring almost 37.00 fantasy points to be in the DFS mix in Week 15. Finally, this matchup has a chance of rain with temperatures in the high 40s.
Second-Tier Options
Cooper Kupp, LAR (DK – $7,800/FD – $8,200)
Kupp played better in Week 13 (6/39/1), followed by an elite outcome the following game (8/115/1) vs. the Ravens. From Week 7…

Week 15 DFS: Running Back Report
Week 15 DFS: Running Back Report The running back position remains inconsistent from week to week in all markets. Ezekiel Elliott seized his starting opportunity to lead the NFL in scoring (27.00 fantasy points) in Week 14. Breece Hall (26.60)
The running back position remains inconsistent from week to week in all markets. Ezekiel Elliott seized his starting opportunity to lead the NFL in scoring (27.00 fantasy points) in Week 14. Breece Hall (26.60) took home the silver medal, followed by James Cook (25.10) and Saquon Barkley (24.10). All four players ranked outside the top 10 at running back before last week. Here are the top five running backs by scoring average after 14 weeks:
- Christian McCaffrey (24.11)
- Raheem Mostert (18.34)

Elite Option
Christian McCaffrey, SF (DK – $9,300/FD – $10,500)
Last week, McCaffrey busted a 72-yard run on the 49ers’ first play. Unfortunately, San Francisco gave him the next play off, leading to Jordan Mason sniping the touchdown on the next play. He finished with a productive day in yards (153) but only one catch and no scores. His streak of scoring at least 20.00 fantasy points ended at six games. The 49ers had him on the field for 89% of their plays. McCaffrey’s best outing came in Week 4 (20/106/3 with seven catches for 71 yards and one touchdown) against the Cardinals. After 13 games, he has 17 touchdowns.
Arizona ranks 31st in running back defense (27.93 FPPG), with two disaster showings (SF – 53.70 and LAR – 52.70 fantasy points). Backs scored 18 touchdowns, with some success catching the ball (61/382/6). Four teams rushed for more than 175 yards. Opponents average 31.4 rushes per game while gaining 4.4 yards per carry.
The scoring in the 49ers is all about the cycle of their four best players. McCaffrey has an elite opportunity in snaps and touches, and this matchup points to multiple touchdowns. He looks poised to score 30+ fantasy points while being challenging to fit into a winning lineup.
