Prior to last season, McCaffrey was the No. 1 RB and player in all formats in 2023 with these numbers: 272 carries, 1,459 yards, 14 touchdowns to go along with 67 receptions, 564 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in 16 games. He averaged 5.4 ypc. He was the RB4 overall and RB2 overall in PPR leagues during the 2022 season before that.

Fantasy football managers who had San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey on their rosters in 2023 were likely thrilled by his 2,023 scrimmage yards and 21 total touchdowns.
