Christian McCaffrey will make his long-awaited 2024 NFL regular season debut in Week 10.

San Francisco 49ers running back has been sidelined with Achilles and calf injuries, but it’s time for one of the most popular fantasy football draft picks to take the field.

McCaffrey’s first opponent was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who allowed 4.9 yards per carry this season.

CeeDee Lamb will also start for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but his production could take a hit with Dak Prescott out.

Below is a look at all the major injury news impacting Week 10 fantasy football matchups.

Christian McCaffrey to Make Season Debut

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan called McCaffrey “ready to go” on Friday afternoon, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said RB Christian McCaffrey is “ready to go” for Sunday’s game in Tampa despite the team listing him as questionable due to calf and Achilles injuries.

McCaffrey was a popular No. 1 pick in fantasy football drafts, but injuries kept him off the field for nine weeks.

No matter how rusty he looks after a half-season break, he will be a must-start player in all fantasy football league formats.

Tampa Bay presents a strong matchup for the 49ers running game as it has allowed more than 100 rushing yards in seven of nine games.

The Bucs were beaten 244 yards by the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. This is McCaffrey and Co. on Sunday. A good sign for.

McCaffrey might not be in his best shape right now, but in terms of matchups he needs to return to the field, this could be a good matchup for him and allow him to score a high fantasy point total.

CeeDee Lamb Ready to Play for Cowboys

CeeDee Lamb is ready to play in the Cowboys’ NFC East battle with the Philadelphia Eagles.

However, his fantasy football impact may be diminished due to Dallas’ quarterback situation. Cooper Rush starts in place of Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys were 5-1 in Rush’s six career starts, but he threw for over 235 yards only once.

Lamb had 49 targets in five starts for the Rush during the 2022 season, but had over 80 receiving yards on just two occasions during that stretch.

Lamb’s impact in point-per-game leagues will not diminish, as he has at least five receptions in all of his Rush’s starts in 2022.

He’s expected to take a hit in standard leagues because his yardage production isn’t guaranteed to be there due to Rush’s arm and Philadelphia’s recent defensive performances.

The Eagles have held three of their last four opponents to under 200 passing yards, so it might not be Lamb’s most productive week of the season.
