2024: For the first time as a 49er, CMC couldn’t stay healthy last season. Twin achilles issues delayed his debut until Week 10 before a knee injury ended his season for good in Week 14. He struggled in between, barely cracking 4.0 yards per carry and catching “just” 15 passes in four games. The computers still liked his performance. His 52.6 “rushing success rate” would have bettered Saquon Barkley’s, while his 1.60 yards per route run ranked eighth amongst running backs.
What’s changed: Healthy since early in the offseason, McCaffrey predictably earned raves for his spring work. Coach Kyle Shanahan declared his back “as healthy as can be.” Coaches have a way of protesting too much in situations like these, but any 2025 injury concerns lay in the future.
2025 Outlook: There has been no talk of limiting CMC’s workloads. Jordan Mason has been traded, and holdover No. 2 Isaac Guerendo has injury question marks of his own. CMC is 29 with self-evident risk, but few players possess the upside to finish as the RB1 overall. That remains within McCaffrey’s range of outcomes.
