SANTA CLARA – Christian McCaffrey is the NFC’s offensive player of the week, a prize that George Kittle sought for his 49ers teammate prior to Sunday’s 20-10 win over Atlanta. McCaffrey churned out 201 scrimmage yards, his first 200-yard output since joining the 49ers three years ago.

To watch Christian McCaffrey gallop through defenses, plow over defenders and make grown men whiff in space, you wouldn’t know that the 49ers running back was coming off a season-ending injury in 2024.
