San Francisco
Christian McCaffrey on the verge of return?
Likely back in Week 10; has small chance of suiting up in Week 8

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he would be “surprised” if Christian McCaffrey were able to play Sunday night vs. the Cowboys, but he added that San Francisco’s star RB could be back after the bye on Nov. 10 vs. the Buccaneers. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)

FFToday's Take: The majority of fantasy managers would also be "surprised" as well. Despite how much San Francisco needs healthy bodies right now, the 49ers have taken the smart approach so far with CMC and seem likely to hold him out one more week before their Week 9 bye. Considering he has reportedly been setback-free since returning from Germany, that would give him about three weeks to get his commissioning back to where he wants it to be. Especially with how beat up San Francisco is right now, expect McCaffrey to handle 18-plus touches as soon as he can play.
