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.
