00:00The superstar in this game for the San Francisco 49ers was their running back, Jordan Mason.

00:13Christian McCaffrey with a pretty surprising absence in this football game.

00:19We knew he was injured, figured, okay, could be limited, right?

00:25But a full inactive for CMC was surprising.

00:30Jordan Mason maybe told a little too much truth at the end of the game, maybe?

00:35Knew he was going to be the starter on Friday.

00:37Not a great look for the Niners, it feels like.

00:42Fines should probably come down.

00:45It's not going to save fantasy players, right?

00:49How many fantasy players out there had CMC, final leg, needed to get 20 points, win a

00:56league?

00:58You find out he's inactive, you have no options.

01:01You have no options.

01:02There's no one you can drop.

01:04You're not dropping McCaffrey, even if Jordan Mason was available in your league, nothing

01:07you could do, right?

01:08You know, there are people who probably have Jordan Mason sitting on that bench.

01:12All right, but that's fantasy football.

01:15Bets wise, all the CMC stuff comes back.

01:18If you bet the Niners because of McCaffrey, you still ended up getting the job done.

01:24If you're like me and who bet under, saw the CMC news, saw the number drop, I said, yep,

01:29that's not going to help me any.

01:30I don't know.

01:31We're just, sometimes that's how it goes.

01:34I wasn't surprised at that total drop.

01:37Then again, I still didn't get where I needed to go on under 43 and a half.

01:41But some other numbers that moved with the Jordan Mason's hard-studded performance were

01:46in the futures market around some awards.

01:50Jordan Mason goes 28 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown 5.3 yards per carry.

01:59He was one of the best running backs in week number one.

02:05And I think many people would probably sit there and give a lot of credit to Kyle Shanahan,

02:11the offensive system, and maybe take your shots at the Jets and all of those are valid.

02:20But this is a very, very important performance to remember.

02:28When if the Niners end up this season being as good as they've been the past few seasons,

02:35I'm lower on San Francisco.

02:37I know they got the job done here.

02:40I don't know if it'll sustain.

02:42CMC already injured.

02:43Trent Williams banged up at the end of the game.

02:45Brandon Aiyu could not crisp with the holdout.

02:48New defensive coordinator.

02:50I don't know.

02:51I think it's relative.

02:54I think the Niners should still be in the playoffs.

02:58I'm higher on Seattle and for sure, and LA a little bit, maybe then the market.

03:05LA's dealing with some injuries, Evia the left guard now going to be out four to six

03:08weeks.

03:10Who's going to cool the injury?

03:11That's already bad.

03:13But maybe I'm wrong.

03:14Maybe the Niners are just going to once again, win 12, 13 games.

03:18And we know that if you are going to have one of the best records in football, you're

03:23going to have an MVP candidate.

03:27Please, please remember week one, Monday night football before you suggest that Christian

03:35McCaffrey is the league's MVP.
