The team has never expressed any concern about McCaffrey's availability for the opener, but the questionable listing should at least have fantasy owners on their toes. CMC can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now. We'll look for another update on his status on Sunday morning. RB Jordan Mason remains one of the best handcuff stashes in fantasy football.

Pearsall might have a shot at the team's No. 3 WR role, although the 49ers recently re-signed WR Jauan Jennings to a two-year contract with $15.4 million in total money and nearly $8.5 million in guarantees.
