What's up, everyone? Matt here. Obviously, we had a huge piece of breaking news come down late Thursday night.

0:06.0

Well, after we taped this week seven preview podcast, the San Francisco 49ers are trading a second, third, and fourth round pick in the 2023 NFL draft and a fifth rounder in the next year's draft for Panther star running back Christian McCaffrey. This is huge.

0:22.7

It's a bombshell. Obviously, Chris McAfee is one of the best players at his position in the

0:27.6

entire NFL. He was one of the first three players off the board in basically every fantasy draft.

0:33.1

And he's pretty much been what we expected this year. You know, he has been, obviously not at his peak

0:39.1

ceiling in that miserable Panthers offense, but he's been a rock solid running back one in fantasy

0:44.8

football this year. You know, going to the 49ers, it's an interesting one because I think I can

0:51.9

talk myself in a couple of directions here, right? Like off the cuff, your touchdown odds are going to be better in San Francisco.

0:58.4

That offense has been good.

0:59.7

It's been efficient for the most part this year, even if there have been a couple hiccups along the way with Jimmy G, you know, getting back under center there, everything that we typically know with the Jimmy G experience.

That is just about the stone worse.

1:15.0

And we'll come back to Carolina here in a second.

1:17.2

Sticking in San Francisco on McCaffrey right now,

1:20.1

you know, I think that McCaffrey probably still remains among the top four or five running backs

1:25.3

in fantasy football rest of season rankings.

1:27.5

I don't think you're really adjusting expectations because the rushing ecosystem is really,

1:32.8

really good in San Francisco. The touchdown odds are obviously better in San Francisco than they

1:37.6

would be in Carolina. But the biggest question for me is what happens to his passing game role?

1:43.3

We know he's going to play a ton of snaps, obviously,

1:45.0

that you don't trade. This is a huge haul, right? Like, this is not some little, uh, trade here.
