The San Francisco 49ers are facing a tough situation with injuries to key running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason, prompting them to claim Israel Abanikanda from the New York Jets.
McCaffrey's PCL injury will keep him out for at least six weeks, while Mason has been placed on injured reserve due to an ankle issue. This opens the door for Isaac Guerendo, who has shown promise in previous games and is expected to take on a larger role.
Abanikanda may serve as a backup option, but fantasy players should prioritize Guerendo, who has already demonstrated his ability to perform in the 49ers' offense.
