Fantasy Gazette

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan took the podium following the team’s practice session Friday with some much-anticipated news about injured RB Christian McCaffrey. With the world waiting on news about arguably the best tailback in the National Football League, Shanahan glowed with a report that the superstar could be back as early as Week 10 this season. Before finishing his sentence, he immediately glanced at his shoes and quietly murmured that McCaffrey might also never walk again for the rest of his life. “This news makes me both tremendously hopeful and depressed,” said Shanahan. “I’m sure fantasy owners will feel the same. We can’t wait to either have him back soon or medically force him to retire.” The team doctors shared the sentiment, with beat reporters saying the 49ers’ medical staff feel it’s a 50/50 toss up for a Week 10 return and healthy regular season or a lifetime confined to a wheelchair. At press time, McCaffrey told reporters he is feeling near 100% and is ready to take the San Francisco 49ers back to the Super Bowl, but is concerned he may never be able to play with his children or grandchildren.
