The 49ers shocked the sports world when they traded for Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey late Thursday night.
San Francisco is sending second-, third- and fourth-round picks in 2023 and a 2024 fifth rounder to Carolina in exchange for one of the NFL’s best all-around players.
Fantasy managers in 2022 were bullish on CMC, making him a top three pick in drafts despite missing 23 of 33 games over the last two seasons due to various injuries. Those who made the investment in McCaffrey are doing back flips following his move to the powerful run-oriented 49ers’ offense.
