Christian McCaffrey News
Sunday, November 8, 5:31 PM
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey did a little bit of everything during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The superstar back looked healthy and unstoppable during Sunday's blowout victory. He carried the ball 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown on the ground. McCaffrey also hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards and an additional score through the air. When McCaffrey is healthy, he's one of the best players in the league. The 18 carries on the ground were a season high for McCaffrey, so it's good to see him getting heavy usage on the ground. Fantasy managers should expect McCaffrey to once again be an elite option for next week's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Josh Jacobs News
Monday, November 9, 11:27 AM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur did not rule out the possibility of the team placing running back Josh Jacobs (finger) on Injured Reserve when asked on Monday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs suffered a finger injury during Green Bay's Week 9 win over the New England Patriots that will require surgery and could lead to him being sidelined for an extended stretch. The 28-year-old missed the first six weeks of the 2026 season while on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List, but he's functioned as Green Bay's workhorse back since returning in Week 7. After Jacobs got hurt against New England, Packers back Kaleb Johnson took over and recorded 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. With Jacobs sidelined, Johnson could be a top waiver wire target for fantasy managers heading into Green Bay's Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
