Christian McCaffrey is a 30-year-old RB for the 49ers who grades as a tier C2 asset in our 2026 superflex rankings, with an expert consensus rank (ECR) of 40 against an average draft position of 4.8. Our current projection, built from Sleeper depth-chart data and a 16-game baseline, calls for roughly 1,050 rushing yards and 8 rushing touchdowns, plus about 55 receptions for 430 yards, which lands him near 19.7 fantasy points per game. The market is chasing him a little: his average ADP of 4.8 sits 35.2 picks ahead of his ECR of 40, so you are paying a premium over his true consensus value on most platforms. The schedule also leans friendly: his playoff-window opponents (weeks 15 through 17) average a 15 defensive rank against a 15.6 regular-season mark, a soft stretch for a title run.
