STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Consistent usage; four straight TDs but yardage down from 2025; Commanders allow fewest RB points.

Christian McCaffrey is operating as a bellcow for San Francisco with 11 rushes, 3 targets, 70% opportunity share, and 82% snap percentage in Week 5 for 11-68-1 rushing and 3-15-0 receiving. The 49ers' usage has been consistent every week since Week 1. McCaffrey has touchdowns in four straight games, though his scrimmage yardage and receptions have trailed the high production from 2025. He is one big game from jumping ahead of the mid-RB1 pack, but after five games, it is fair to wonder whether he can still deliver those matchup-shifting weeks. The Commanders have quietly been very good against running backs, allowing the second fewest fantasy points in Week 6.
