McCaffrey Hits 1,000 Rushing Yards, Nears Franchise Reception Record

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has surpassed 1,000 rushing yards, now totaling 1,039 rushing and 849 receiving yards. He is poised to break Roger Craig’s single-season franchise record for running backs with one more reception, though he has fallen off the pace for a second career 1,000/1,000 season. In a recent win, McCaffrey recorded 117 rushing yards, 29 receiving yards, and 2 TDs. While his MVP candidacy is debated, he remains a strong favorite for Comeback Player of the Year, proving his immense value to the 11-win 49ers. He previously dealt with a tight back after the bye week and appeared on the injury report before the season's first game.
