Christian McCaffrey News

Christian McCaffrey is a Dual Threat in Win

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.

Zach Charbonnet News

Zach Charbonnet Earns a Look at Flex

Sunday, November 8, 2:58 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet had already topped his Week 8 carry total by halftime against the Arizona Cardinals. He converted third-and-one with a five-yard run on the drive that produced Seattle's second touchdown. Charbonnet finished Sunday's Week 9 win with 77 yards on 16 carries and a nine-yard catch. He also helped run out the clock after Seattle's defense forced a turnover on downs in the fourth quarter. In his season debut against Chicago after tearing his ACL in January, Charbonnet had six carries to Jadarian Price's 10. The split flipped against Arizona, with Price getting nine carries for 24 yards. Price still led Seattle with four catches for 54 yards, and tight end AJ Barner scored the team's only rushing touchdown from the one-yard line. Charbonnet is a viable flex in 12-team leagues for the Week 10 trip to Las Vegas. The Raiders allowed 146.4 rushing yards per game through Week 8, second most in the NFL, then gave up rushing touchdowns on San Francisco's first two drives Sunday.
