Christian McCaffrey Week 13 Outlook - 49ers at Bills

The frustration continues to mount for fantasy managers who used their first overall picks on 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. First, the star running back missed the first half of the year due to an injury. Now, McCaffrey is back but has looked anything but the part of a number-one overall pick. McCaffrey has yet to score in three games and is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. He is getting enough volume to keep him relevant. However, San Francisco's offense looked broken without quarterback Brock Purdy last week. Purdy has gotten in some throwing to start the week but he is questionable to start in Buffalo on Sunday. McCaffrey should be a volume-based RB1 this week, but his upside is limited if Purdy cannot suit up.
