During today’s episode of The Shanaplan, Akash and I went through the winners and losers of the 49ers' first eight games. We could list the usual suspects and stars, but we tried to go outside the box. So let’s not waste any time and get right into it.
Winner: Christian McCaffrey's situation
McCaffrey came from an offense where he was the only one that opposing defenses had to prepare for. Some are high on DJ Moore, but I’ve always struggled to see his value.
McCaffrey’s first game against the Rams as a panther might’ve been more impressive than the three-touchdown game versus Los Angeles, considering he had zero room to operate.
