So what are the fantasy implications of this?

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Do you guys think Christian McCaffrey is going to see snaps with the 49ers next week?  Will he be on a pitch count?  Obviously he's not going to be active on Sunday because he just touched down in SF, but the 49ers have a crucial division game against the Rams on the 30th.

You should trade him… if you are in a dynasty league, a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th should do.

He’s playing in a weeks time that games too crucial 

[TheMostInterestingMan]

This week he still could be involved on an extremely limited basis. But next week he will be playing. While they will implement him in the passing game, the 49ers aren't known for passing to their RBs too often. CMC will be on the field with the understanding that he is getting the ball and running or being used in pass protection. But he will be on the field a lot next week.

Fantasy Life's breakdown:

CMC is the obvious winner, but here is the other fallout to consider:

Jeff Wilson Jr.

Wilson immediately shifts from the lead back to a complementary piece when CMC needs a breather. Don't drop him—CMC isn't necessarily a picture of health—but his stock takes a massive hit. Tevin Coleman and Tyrion-Davis Price can be safely dropped.

Chuba Hubbard, D'Onta Foreman

Technically this is a stock up situation for both Hubbard and Foreman in that they both will be getting more touches, but it's hard to be excited about two middling talents in a timeshare on one of the most inept offenses in football. Both should be rostered in case one pulls ahead, though.

The narrative is that Brickhands Hubbard will get the passing work but I don't see how unless they are intentionally tanking. Dude can't consistently catch a cold.

I have CMC and Foreman. I hope they both succeed.
