Christian McCaffrey angered fantasy football owners this week by starring in a Halloween TikTok video alongside wife, Olivia Culpo. He was simply enjoying the holiday festivities. His fans didn’t approve!
Many have been S-O-L when it comes to their fantasy football success due to the running back’s lingering injury issues.
A boatload of No. 1 overall picks were used to select McCaffrey in the preseason only to see him sidelined with an unexpected setback in the season opener. The 49ers played that injury close to the vest, sparking outrage from those owners on social media.
That anger hasn’t subsided with CMC missing the first eight games of the year.
Tendinitis has been the cause of the absence, but good news has come to the forefront ahead of a Week 10 matchup against Tampa Bay. Christian McCaffrey is trending up in terms of availability against the Bucs!

The running back could return to the field very soon! That should make his fantasy football owners happy. They could finally reap some benefits of drafting the star rusher with those first-round picks.
Unfortunately, many are still upset!
Christian McCaffrey’s Halloween TikTok is causing fantasy football meltdowns.
The running back was seen in a video with Olivia Culpo donning a Wizard of the Oz themed costume. It wasn’t what football fans wanted to see from a player working to get back in the lineup!
“Christian, please get back on the field! My fantasy team needs you!”

Social media had plenty of fun with the TikTok post.
“I know Christian McCaffrey is working hard to come back and save my fantasy season”

Christian McCaffrey is enjoying his last few moments off the field before getting back to football. You can’t blame him!
Hopefully, he’s able to return in the very near future to give viewers (and fantasy football owners) something to cheer about.
