The San Francisco 49ers announced Monday that star running back Christian McCaffrey will miss Monday night’s opener against the New York Jets.
McCaffrey battled a calf injury in training camp and that is what will keep him out of the first game of the season.
Fantasy football team owners must be flipping out if they have McCaffrey.
