Madden curse? 1.01 curse? Or maybe just bad injury reporting? Regardless of what’s going on with McCaffrey, it’s a bad look for CMC’s managers after he was taken at the very top of drafts this season. As if the drama surrounding him being a surprise inactive weren’t enough of a story, the details of him missing Week 1 are only further complicating it. Backup RB Jordan Mason said that he knew he would be starting this weekend on Friday, suggesting that the 49ers withheld information that could have saved fantasy managers from being forced to scramble for a replacement among limited options on the waiver on Monday evening. Similarly, The Athletic's Joe Lombardi’s report that CMC could have played if it were a ‘playoff game’ on Monday adds layers of confusion, especially considering that every win counts – particularly in the early going. It’s since been reported that McCaffrey has Achilles tendinitis, and his status for Week 2 appears to be very much up in the air. Jordan Mason will be the obvious preferred start in any further time that CMC misses, but the hope is that the consensus 1.01 can get right sooner rather than later and avoid having his health be a headline for the entire season.
