For those who are playing fantasy football finals in Week 18 or for those setting some DFS lineups, there are a few important injuries to track this week.
Perhaps the most important injury for fantasy managers is Christian McCaffrey’s:
#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan tells reporters that RB Christian McCaffrey has a mild calf strain that will keep him out Week 18. That gives him nearly 3 weeks to get ready for the playoffs.
