Christian McCaffrey Remains Top Option In Tough Matchup

Christian McCaffrey Remains Top Option In Tough Matchup

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will travel to Cleveland to take on a solid Browns run defense in Week 6. Last week, McCaffrey handled 19 carries for 51 yards rushing and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 27 yards receiving. The touchdown continued his franchise record-breaking streak, now having scored in 14 straight games. The stat line could be considered a disappointment for fantasy managers, but it should be noted that McCaffrey was removed from the game very early in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand. Cleveland boasts the fourth-best rushing defense in football, averaging only 71.8 yards allowed per game and having given up zero total rushing touchdowns. That being said, a tough matchup is no reason to bench the overall RB1.
