Oh no, it’s happening again! Right after we held our collective breath that Christian McCaffrey was dealing with calf soreness,  then breathing again when he played. The Niners leave week one of the season with a multiple week hamstring injury to star tight end George Kittle and quarterback Brock Purdy dealing with a shoulder and a toe injury. The injury curse has struck again. The team lost Brandon Aiyuk and McCaffrey for most of the season last year. Aiyuk is still recovering from the ACL injury. Jauan Jennings was dealing with a calf injury also. Luckily enough McCaffrey is ok. Let’s hope he can hold up until Kittle and Purdy can return.

Injuries to Purdy and Kittle could have been disastrous for the Niners if it weren’t for Christian McCaffrey. Mac Jones is the next man up at the helm and all he has to do is feed the ball to McCaffrey and make a few completions to Pearsall and Jennings to keep defenses honest. McCaffrey is the only safe fantasy option on offense until we see how Jones operates in this system. Let’s hope for a fast recovery for Purdy, Kittle and Ayuik so we can see this offense running on all cylinders.
