Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Devon Achane

Friday, September 22, 1:04 AM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey tied Jerry Rice's all-time 49ers record by scoring a touchdown for the 12th straight game in Thursday night's dominant win against the New York Giants. McCaffrey, 27, finished the night with 85 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. He also caught all five of his targets for 34 yards receiving. In a juicy matchup against a New York defense that had struggled to stop the run, McCaffrey was his usual self, combining elusiveness with power. His fantasy day was limited by head coach Kyle Shanahan keeping his promise to get other running backs involved, though his 23 touches matched last week's. He has plenty of time to rest up before an October 1 date at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane went from getting only one carry in Week 2 to leading the team in carries and yards in Week 3. The rookie posted an insane 203 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries while adding 30 yards and two more touchdowns on four catches. His biggest highlight was a 67-yard touchdown run where he outran the entire defense right up the middle. He was involved in every facet of the offense and could possibly turn this huge day into more opportunities down the road. The Buffalo Bills will present a tougher matchup in Week 4, but fantasy managers will want to monitor how many touches he gets in the weeks to come.
