Christian McCaffrey Set for Bounce-Back Week vs. Cardinals

Friday, September 25, 2:53 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has the opportunity to bounce back when his team hosts the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. The star back was part of a large contingent of players who didn't participate in Wednesday's practice but returned on Thursday to prepare for Sunday's divisional matchup. McCaffrey was held to 23 yards on 10 carries in Week 2 but scored two rushing TDs in a convincing 35-13 win against the Miami Dolphins. Arizona has struggled to contain the run early in the 2026 campaign, allowing 243 yards and one touchdown on the ground through two games. CMC should be able to exploit the Cardinals' defense, setting the table for a strong Week 3 across fantasy leagues.

Tyjae Spears Back In Against Giants

Sunday, September 27, 12:06 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) has returned to Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. Spears, who was already questionable to play in Sunday's game after missing practice during the week, had two carries for six yards before leaving the game. Tony Pollard has led Tennessee's backfield against New York, logging 17 carries for 74 rushing yards. He should continue to lead the way for the Titans, especially if Spears has further aggrivated the ankle injury.
