Christian McCaffrey was traded to the San Francisco 49ers from the Carolina Panthers prior to last week's game. He made his debut for the 49ers against the Chiefs and looked pretty good.
The 49ers will play the Los Angeles Rams today, and it will arguably be the biggest regular season game for both teams. The good news for the 49ers fans is that McCaffrey is healthy and ready to play.
However, the 49ers will be without Deebo Samuel, and that will increase the load on Christian McCaffrey, both while running and receiving the ball. Against the Chiefs, McCaffrey had eight rushing attempts for 38 yards and also had two receptions for 24 yards.
