McCaffrey rushed 18 times for 94 yards and a touchdown while adding eight receptions on nine targets for 55 yards and another score against the Rams on Sunday. He also completed his lone pass attempt for a 34-yard touchdown in a 31-14 win.
It certainly didn't take long for head coach Kyle Shanahan to fully integrate McCaffrey into the game plan after being forced to operate with a simplified playbook that limited him to 10 touches last week. The versatile star threw his second career passing touchdown on a halfback pass trick play that left Brandon Aiyuk uncovered for an easy score. After the dust settled, McCaffrey combined for nearly 200 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns. The 26-year-old was already having a strong season, but getting traded to a team with an offensive-minded head coach and an actual threat of a passing game should have fantasy managers elated moving forward. Those same managers will have to find a replacement for McCaffrey in Week 9 while the 49ers are on a bye. San Francisco will return to action against the Chargers on Nov. 13.
