A disaster scenario has hit fantasy football managers who spent an early first-round pick on San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey.
After missing Week 1 due to a calf and Achilles injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Saturday that McCaffrey will be placed on injured reserve.
The move ensures that McCaffrey, who had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, will be out at least through Week 5.
Now, fantasy managers are stuck lamenting their decision to select McCaffrey with no clear timetable for him to play in games this season.
