San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is currently nursing a calf strain and is expected to miss a few weeks of practice, including all preseason games. Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that while the injury is short-term, it will require close monitoring as the season approaches. Despite this setback, McCaffrey remains a top fantasy pick, having led the NFL in rushing yards and total scrimmage yards last season.
  • McCaffrey's calf strain is short-term but will keep him out of preseason games.
  • His performance in the 2023 season makes him a top fantasy pick despite the injury.
