49ers-Jaguars Player Prop Pick for Christian McCaffrey
The San Francisco 49ers had a rough few weeks before their Week 9 bye, but they’ll benefit from some extra rest before this one, and I suspect the time off will help Brock Purdy settle back down — and, you know, get over his concussion. One beneficiary of this should be running back Christian McCaffrey, who is averaging 36.5 receiving yards per game on the year. Although the return of Deebo Samuel will reduce Purdy’s need to check the ball down, it should also create more openings in the short-yardage game for McCaffrey to exploit.
The road matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars should also benefit the star running back, especially as a receiver. The Jaguars have allowed the fewest total rushing yards to running backs on the year (449), likely because they field a stingy defensive front that ranks sixth in run-stop win rate (33%). Opposing teams have opted to involve their running backs as receivers against the Jaguars, and it’s worked nicely for them — the Jaguars have coughed up the most receptions (60) and the fourth-most receiving yards (395) to the position.

Recent games have highlighted Jacksonville’s struggle against running backs who can catch. Najee Harris caught five passes for 42 yards against them. Harris’ teammate, Jaylen Warren, added another 19 receiving yards on four catches. Alvin Kamara led the Saints in receiving yards with 91 on 12 receptions a week before that. Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss combined for 11 receptions and 82 receiving yards just one week before that. McCaffrey is a more talented receiver than all of those players, and I expect him to flash his receiving chops on Sunday.
