Lineup building blocks
Christian McCaffrey ($40) @ Los Angeles Rams
McCaffrey had his longest run in Week 1 since joining San Francisco and finished with the most rushing yards (and RYOE: rush yards over expected) in the league despite facing the highest percentage of eight-man fronts.

He’s become a top-five target earner in the league and gets a favorable matchup this weekend versus a Seattle secondary allowing the second-most EPA/pass that was just torched by the Rams WRs without Cooper Kupp (although Jamal Adams and/or Devon Witherspoon may return).

I can’t wait to see his next touchdown celebration Sunday.
