00:00Some news coming out that Christian McCaffrey should be returning to the roster.
00:08We started looking at some numbers, Tom.
00:09So how do we start picking apart this one?
00:11Niners taking on the Bucs, six and a half on the spread, 50 and a half on the total,
00:15which I'm not going to lie, total is kind of surprising to me.
00:18Yeah, I would say like the news is that today that, you know, Schefter tweeted that McCaffrey
00:24should be playing and it is week 10.
00:26This is his first game.
00:28The question everyone wants to know, myself included, is he's going to play.
00:33What does that mean?
00:34And ultimately, how healthy is Christian McCaffrey, right?
00:37Are we talking about like the beginning of last season where he comes in, he's ready
00:40to go.
00:41We're firing on all cylinders.
00:43He's going to play.
00:44Okay.
00:45Is he going to see 25 plus total touches?
00:46Is he going to see 20 plus total touches?
00:48Is Shanahan going to come out and say, we're going to monitor his workload or we're going
00:51to, we're going to ease him back into like, he's going to have some quote that's going
00:54to tell us something, but at the same time, it tells us nothing, right?
00:59Oh, we're going to monitor his workload, right?
01:01That doesn't mean anything.
01:02If they tell us like, we're going to, we're going to play him in stints.
01:05We're going to play him in quick bursts.
01:07Like none of that means anything because ultimately it's Christian McCaffrey.
01:10He's going up against a pretty lackluster defense.
01:13I'm sorry to say for the box, but I'm going to be, I'm going to be probably not on his
01:18props because there's a chance.
01:20And we said this about Pukunukuwa in the Thursday night game that we did.
01:23And when Cooper Krupp came back to, there's a chance that he goes for a hundred plus yards
01:27tonight, uh, you know, on Sunday, but there's also a chance that he falls at like 40 yards
01:31and he goes well, well under his props because they're using him back into the offense.
01:35And actually Jordan Mason has a solid game.
01:37So it is really, really tough until we start to build some consistency.
01:42And that's going to come from literally how many touches he has on the ball coming to
01:46Sunday.
01:47So frankly, I'm going to be off of CMC on his props this week.
01:50Yeah.
01:51I'm actually right there with you.
01:52And considering the state of the box defense, if we're all being honest, like you don't
01:56need him to get down the field realistically, but you can use him to pick up points in the
02:00red zone.
02:01And that could be where the workload comes in.
02:02And considering the workload for CMC, considering the workload for CMC, a moderate workload
02:08could be anything because this guy has legit been the man on this roster a number of games.
02:14So it's too touch and go for that one.
02:16I'm right there with you.
