49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Logs 18 touches in close win
Rotowire
McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 52 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 18 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
McCaffrey saw a reduced workload by his lofty standards, although he still outpaced backfield mate Kaelon Black by nine carries. The star back had to tough out the majority of his gains on the ground, including his one-yard touchdown run with just under nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. McCaffrey has yet to top 15 carries in any game this season, but he has four rushing TDs and 340 total yards heading into a Week 5 road showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Records 116 total yards in win
Rotowire
McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 75 yards and a touchdown while bringing in four of five targets for 41 yards in the 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
McCaffrey's carry total was modest by his standards, but he still outpaced backup Kaelon Black by 11 carries and four targets while also recording a one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. McCaffrey was highly efficient with his rushing opportunities, and he finished second in receptions and third in targets for the 49ers on the afternoon. San Francisco's pass-catching corps suffered further attrition this weekend -- Mike Evans exited the game with rib and oblique injuries, while Demarcus Robinson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday -- so McCaffrey could continue to see his pass-game work creep up in a Week 4 home showdown against the Broncos next Sunday.
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Scores twice to reach 100 career TDs
Rotowire
McCaffrey rushed 10 times for 23 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins.
McCaffrey opened the scoring with a one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and added another one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The two-touchdown performance brought McCaffrey's career regular-season touchdown total up to 100. Exactly half of those touchdowns have come with the 49ers, as McCaffrey joins Marshall Faulk and Randy Moss as the only players to score at least 50 touchdowns apiece for multiple teams, per ESPN Insights. McCaffrey should continue to contribute as both a runner and a pass catcher in Week 3 against the Cardinals.
