"This season is different. Obviously, he is on pace to rack up over 1,000 yards both as a rusher (1,093 yards projected) and a receiver (1,131 yards). That would make him the first member of the 1K/1K club to do so with more receiving than rushing yards. He joined Roger Craig (1985 49ers) and Marshall Faulk (1999 Rams) in that three-man fraternity in 2019 with the Panthers, when he posted 1,005 receiving yards (72 in the season finale) and 1,387 rushing yards."
"Here go the 49ers and Christian McCaffrey on another playoff push. This time, they're pulling along a third-string defense, at least at middle linebacker for the next couple of weeks. Should they squeeze into the NFC's seven-team playoff field, their veteran-laden and highly compensated offense will lead the way, further underscoring the NFL's offensive-oriented, fantasy-football-friendly world. McCaffrey rules that galaxy."
Christian McCaffrey is the centerpiece of the 49ers’ offense while the team navigates a weakened middle linebacker spot. The offense’s veteran, highly compensated unit will drive any playoff push. McCaffrey projects to exceed 1,000 yards both rushing (1,093 projected) and receiving (1,131 projected), potentially becoming the first player with more receiving than rushing yards while joining the 1K/1K club. He previously produced 1,005 receiving and 1,387 rushing yards in 2019. This season McCaffrey has recorded 732 receiving yards on 74 catches and 707 rushing yards on 193 carries.
