A team consisting of Mahomes, CMC, Jonathan Taylor, Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Brian Robinson... etc.

Color me surprised here. Just felt like decoy game for him. Well done

It was never going to be a true “decoy game” for him given the consecutive TD streak. But I did not expect him to get all but one of the RB touches.

Whoever pulled the trigger on this deal from Carolina should never work in the league again.
Sure, but what good would CMC do Carolina? They would be better but would it make an appreciable difference in their ultimate outcome? Probably not.

Maybe I'm crazy but I'd prefer to keep ultra studs on my team, especially ones we drafted.
I'd argue if they hadn't traded him, they'd have won the division last season. Then they don't undertake this massive rebuild, and that's easily the NFL's weakest division, so maybe they are in 1st again this season. I mean, that's still a 1st round exit both times, but its not what is currently happening.

Also something may have changed in his approach last year when he was coming back from those Injuries. Carolina drank the RBs don’t matter koolaid. The fact that djm and cmc were traded for really good compensation goes to show you how valuable they are on the market. Carolina would me better off. Maybe they wouldn’t trade up for Bryce if they didn’t get those extra picks from the 49ers

trust me so did I.
Really thought LT would be closer but he’s only got 17 receiving TDs though I guess 145 rushing TDs isn’t so bad.

I’m surprised LT didn’t have more Rec TDs.

What is everyone doing regarding CMC's handcuff for the next couple of weeks?
I've been holding onto Elijah Mitchell but he's been out the last couple of weeks with a bum knee. Jordan Mason hasn't seen many snaps as the backup. Any news on when Mitchell will be back and if he'll be the handcuff going forward?

It’s a great question that I’ve been pondering. I’ve had both Mitchell and Mason at times this year. Today I decided to drop Mitchell in favor of blocking opponents picking up Sermon or ZWhite and grabbing a better PK for this week. IF CMC goes down in the semi-final then it is what it is. That could but probably won’t happen. I’d rather shore up my lineup or block my opponent on waivers. Maybe there is a better approach but this is what I figure is best at the moment.

With Mitchell being declared out before game I have been picking him up, place on IR, then pick up Mason the last few weeks. Will wait to see practice reports for Mitchell to see if he is practicing yet this week
Mason has been way more effective with his touches this season
This is true

I am too lazy to look up stats, but it “feels” like when Mitchell is out, Mason gets 1 carry. When Mitchell plays, Mitchell gets 5-6 carries. There could be numerous reasons for this, but this would tell me that the coaching staff does not trust Mason like they do Mitchell. Thoughts?

Footballguy
I've noticed that too, and am also too lazy to look up stats. This is why I've been hanging onto Mitchell
However, as noted in an earlier response, if CMC goes down it probably isn't going to matter but I want to at least try and get it right.

He's third in odds, behind the 2 QBs.

Only Mahomes is a better player right now. He’s become a first ballot HOF and will be in the discussion for greatest ever at the position.Next Gen Stats

He had a stinger. He'll be fine

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey said, "My shoulder felt a little weird," and that's why he didn't go back in the game. He said he didn't feel like he'd be able to grip the ball.
Kyle Shanahan McCaffrey told him it was a stinger when he came out.
"I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but I feel fine now." - McCaffrey after the game, on how his shoulder is feeling.
