The fantasy football world has its first blockbuster move before the NFL trade deadline, as the Panthers have sent superstar running back Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, San Francisco sent their 2023 second, third, and fourth-round picks and a fifth-rounder in 2024 to acquire McCaffrey.
The move has fantasy implications for several players, but let’s start with McCaffrey. His value won’t change a ton as he’ll remain a top-three running back in fantasy football, but playing in a Kyle Shanahan offense is an exciting thought for fans.
