The San Francisco 49ers have been as banged up as any team in the NFL this year, but they can beat any team in the league as long as star running back Christian McCaffrey is healthy. McCaffrey once again dominated offensive touches for San Fran in Sunday night's victory over the visiting Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, touching the football 31 times for 201 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. The 29-year-old do-it-all back had a season-high 24 carries for 129 rushing yards (his first 100-yard game of 2025) and added two rushing scores, as an improved Falcons defense had no answers for him. CMC added seven catches on eight targets for 72 receiving yards. McCaffrey has been the Niners' leading receiver this year and has three receiving touchdowns and three rushing TDs as a balanced offensive threat like few others in the league. Despite another tough test in Week 8 against the Houston Texans' defense, CMC continues to be a must-start, elite RB1 in fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is "week-to-week" after he suffered an ankle injury in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons and was unable to return, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. Palmer injured his ankle in the first half of Monday night's contest when he was tackled awkwardly, and he was unable to return to the game. He finished with two catches for 60 yards. Buffalo's bye in Week 7 is coming at a good time for Palmer, but his week-to-week designation means he won't be a lock to be ready when the Bills return to action on Oct. 26 in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. The 26-year-old has failed to stand out in his first year in Buffalo in an offense that continues to spread the ball around. Palmer has only 14 catches on 20 targets for 234 yards and no scores in six games. He'll be a popular drop candidate by fantasy managers with the Bills on bye in Week 7.
