00:00So, in fantasy football, the panic set in because Christian McCaffrey is by far the
00:10number one overall pick for everybody's fantasy draft.
00:13And we get worried that he already has a calf strain.
00:16And we saw how much the Niners work him.
00:19How much is there to worry when the coach says they had no preseason, mispractice, like,
00:23is there a lot to worry about or is this just like, hey, we don't need him, we're not going
00:27to touch him during preseason?
00:28No, it's concerning.
00:30I mean, you know, Christian McCaffrey has had injury issues in his past when he was
00:34with Carolina.
00:35And he had, you know, little nagging injuries crop up throughout the year last year.
00:41So yeah, it's definitely something that was on my antenna.
00:44When you hear that he has a calf strain, I think he might add a calf strain last year
00:48as well.
00:49They have pretty good depth at running back when you consider Mitchell and Trey Mason
00:53and both those guys are are good players, but they're not Christian McCaffrey in terms
00:57of, you know, what he can do both in the running game and passing game and obviously being
01:01an engine for that offense.
01:02So, you know, it's smart for Shanahan to go ahead and sit him out, make sure he's fully
01:06healthy to start the year.
01:08But you do worry about that injury lingering and cropping back up once he starts to play
01:13regular season games.
