49ers' Nick Bosa eyes return; Christian McCaffrey could play despite hamstring injury

The Athletic reports Christian McCaffrey could play Sunday despite a hamstring injury, with Nick Bosa also eyeing a return for San Francisco. McCaffrey is listed as questionable.

Sharp take

Sharp SixStart

McCaffrey is the RB3 on the board with 154.9 points of value over replacement, so the only question is whether he dresses, not whether he starts. San Francisco are 10-point favourites in a 52.5-point game, which is the exact script that feeds him touches and then feeds him more. Questionable is a status, not a verdict. Start him if he is active, and have a bench body warm for the inactive list at 1pm.
