BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: At this point, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is in his own tier at running back. He's found the end zone at least once in all but one game this season and has only failed to hit 100 scrimmage yards three times all season. He scored a touchdown in all three of those games, though.
McCaffrey's just unstoppable. His 825 rushing yards currently lead the NFL, as do his total total touchdowns. He's been the top fantasy running back all season and continues to occupy that role heading into Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
There's really just not that much more to say here. If you're lucky enough to have Christian McCaffrey on your fantasy roster, you should have him in your lineup every week. He's matchup-proof. The best defense he's played in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to running backs was Tampa last week, who allow the second-fewest to the position. He had 103 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown.
Just an elite player. Expect more of the same when the 49ers take the field on Thursday against the Seahawks.
