From the article

Christian McCaffrey is the top play of the slate at $8,000 and lands in 20.3 percent of optimal lineups, more than any other player. His lower-than-expected 10 carries in Week 1 were partly the result of cramps, but he still drew eight targets, and San Francisco should be playing with a lead for most of Sunday.

McCaffrey is the top play of the slate at $8,000 and lands in 20.3% of optimal lineups, more than any other player. His lower-than-expected 10 carries in Week 1 were partly the result of cramps, but he still drew eight targets, and San Francisco should be playing with a lead for most of Sunday. There is some risk he gets pulled early if the game turns into a blowout, but in tournaments there are also plenty of game scripts in which he puts up a massive score.
