The Christian McCaffrey deal is likely going to have reverberations for the trade value chart in the weeks to come.
For starters, the already-valuable McCaffrey is only going to benefit from playing on a better offense with a better coaching staff and scheme. He was borderline untouchable before the trade, but don't be shocked if he eventually becomes fantasy's most productive player.
His addition, however, means that the Niners may not need Deebo Samuel to operate in as much of a Swiss Army knife role. Much of Samuel's usage as a running back in the past has come down to need, but the Niners have McCaffrey and Jeff Wilson and will get back Elijah Mitchell back at some point in November.
Samuel is going to remain valuable, but the diversity of touches he receives will diminish.
Brandon Aiyuk, meanwhile, is an interesting case. He's emerged as a legitimate weekly flex candidate, especially in PPR leagues, but McCaffrey is an elite receiver out of the backfield and could see some of the targets that might have otherwise gone Aiyuk's way.
Jimmy Garoppolo's strength isn't pushing the ball down the field. McCaffrey is likely going to feast in this offense, but it might come at the slight expense of Samuel and Aiyuk.
That makes Aiyuk a legitimate sell-high candidate, though Samuel is too talented and productive to expect his production to drop enough to cut ties with him.
And then there is George Kittle, who is finally thriving this season after a slow start, with 14 catches for 181 yards and a score on 19 targets in his last two games. Kittle's role probably won't diminish much with McCaffrey on board. If anything, he feels like an excellent buy-low candidate, though your chances of pulling that off are diminishing by the week.
As for which Panthers running back you should be pursuing via trade if you missed out on waivers, well, that remains up in the air, as both played well on Sunday. D'Onta Foreman came into the day with more production on the year and ultimately received six more touches, though Chuba Hubbard was technically the starter.
The smart money is on Foreman to emerge as the more valuable fantasy running back, but for now, don't pay RB2 prices to acquire him. The situation in Carolina is worth a wait-and-see approach.
