STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

McCaffrey faces favorable linebacker matchups in Week 1; needs elite play vs. Denver.

Against the Rams in Week 1, McCaffrey should have significantly more room to operate against linebackers Nate Landman and Omar Speights compared to the Rams' elite defensive line (Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald). The source projects McCaffrey will benefit from the 49ers' new downfield passing attack stretching the field and opening up the middle. The source also projects McCaffrey will need to play out of his mind against Denver in Week 4, with a 200+ yards-from-scrimmage game similar to Jonathan Taylor's performance last year.
