Christian McCaffrey is the son of a 3X Super Bowl Champion, and he hopes to add a trophy to the family’s collection.
Most football fans you talk to outside of Baltimore think of one player if you ask them, “Who is the most valuable player to their team in the NFL?” That player is San Francisco 49ers do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey. If the Kansas City Chiefs want a chance to win Super Bowl 58, they’ll have to devise a way to stop CMC.
Fantasy players know, CMC is virtually unstoppable. The 49ers know it too. And in a week where team performance is paramount, check out this stat: When the 49ers have their Big 4 on the field and healthy at the same time, that big 4 being McCaffrey, TE George Kittle, and wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, CMC averages 142.4 scrimmage yards.
That happened 10 times in 2023. CMC totaled one thousand 424 total yards in those 10 games alone.
If the 49ers win, CMC will be the major factor.
And with CMCs dad, Ed, being a Super Bowl Champ, an SF win over KC in SB LVIII will mean C = MC squared.

Christian McCaffrey is out for the final game of the regular season with a mild calf strain; Elijah Mitchell will be lead back in week 18.
During last week’s game against the Commanders, Christian McCaffrey suffered a calf strain and had to leave last week’s game early. However, his exit from the game was a precautionary measure as the 49ers were already in control of the game. As the team has now secured the number 1 seed in the NFC, there is no need for McCaffrey to play in week 18. Expect other 49er starters as well to be sitting in week 18.
McCaffrey will end his electric year with All-Pro numbers across the board with 1459 yards rushing, 2023 all-purpose yards, 21 touchdowns, and finishing the season in the MVP conversation.
Last week, Elijah Mitchell performed exceptionally well, carrying the ball 17 times for 80 yards and scoring a touchdown. With McCaffrey already ruled out, it is expected that Mitchell will continue to play a vital role in the 49ers’ backfield in week 18 along with Jordan Mason who will see some playing time as well.
