Christian McCaffrey's return has revitalized the San Francisco 49ers' offense, allowing for more big plays and improved performance after a rocky start to the season. Coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized the importance of having elite players on the field to create opportunities for others.

The 49ers are set to face the Seattle Seahawks in a crucial NFC West matchup, with both teams looking to improve their standings. Despite McCaffrey's limited rushing yards against Tampa Bay, his receiving ability helped secure a narrow victory.

Seattle's DK Metcalf is expected to return from injury, which could bolster the Seahawks' offense as they look to bounce back from previous losses. The 49ers also need to address kicker Jake Moody's inconsistency, as missed field goals nearly cost them the game last week.

Defensively, the 49ers are counting on Nick Bosa, who has a strong track record against Seattle, although he is dealing with a hip injury. Meanwhile, Seahawks safety Coby Bryant is adapting to his new position, aiming to improve as the season progresses.
