Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Dalton Kincaid

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey rushed for just 25 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 8 loss against the Houston Texans. He also caught three of his six targets for an additional 43 receiving yards. McCaffrey had his worst game of the season; his 9.8 points in PPR leagues marked the first time he scored fewer than 22 points in a single game this year. This was a rare dud for McCaffrey, and part of the blame can be attributed to the quarterback position, as Mac Jones (59.4% completion rate, 193 yards, two touchdowns, one interception) struggled to put together many quality drives in place of Brock Purdy (toe). McCaffrey is still one of the most talented running backs in recent NFL history, and he should have no trouble bouncing back against a struggling Giants squad in Week 9.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He is returning from a one-game absence spanning two weeks thanks to Buffalo's bye. The extra week off gave Kincaid extra time to recover, and he's now suiting up for Week 8 despite being listed as questionable. The 26-year-old is having his best season yet in Year 3, catching 20 passes for 287 yards and a career-high three touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE12 in PPR leagues. He should be started with confidence against the Panthers, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025.
