BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: Christian McCaffrey is a must-start option this week as he makes his highly anticipated return to the field in the 49ers' matchup against the Buccaneers.
The team appears eager to reintegrate their star running back, making him a high-priority play in all fantasy formats. Given McCaffrey’s elite dual-threat ability, he should be viewed as an RB1 and a top-5 option at the position this week.
His versatility as both a rusher and receiver is unmatched, and he’s likely to see heavy usage both on the ground and in the passing game as the 49ers look to set the tone early against a Buccaneers defense that has been vulnerable to dynamic playmakers.

McCaffrey’s return also brings considerable touchdown upside, as he’s historically been a key red zone weapon for the 49ers. With Brandon Aiyuk out for the season, McCaffrey could take on even more responsibility in the offense, further boosting his fantasy ceiling.
His ability to rack up yards in chunks and contribute in scoring situations makes him a no-brainer start this week.
For managers looking to solidify their lineup, McCaffrey’s proven playmaking skills and reliable volume make him a top-tier option poised to deliver strong production in his season debut. CMC is back.
