Christian McCaffrey Will Suit Up Against Vikings

Christian McCaffrey Will Suit Up Against Vikings

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique) will play on Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The fantasy superstar is dealing with a "slight little tear" in his oblique but is ready to roll in Week 7. McCaffrey originally suffered the injury in the loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 6, causing him to leave the game early. If McCaffrey was seriously compromised, the 49ers would likely hold him out as a precaution. Since he's going to be active, he is a must-start in this NFC matchup. He could see a slightly reduced workload, but the 27-year-old can score fantasy points in a hurry due to his receiving skills and explosive rushing upside.
