Christian McCaffrey Stats, Pick for MNF vs. Panthers: Can 49ers' RB Stay Hot?

NFL Week 12 concludes with star RB Christian McCaffrey and his 7-4 San Francisco 49ers throwing down with the 6-5 Carolina Panthers at Levi's Stadium.

The Monday Night Football matchup is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.

A three-time Pro Bowler and a former Offensive Player of the Year, McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in football. He's twice led the league in scrimmage yards, amd might well do it again, as his 1,439 scrimmage yards lead the NFL.

With the 49ers currently in the postseason as the seventh-seed, a loss tonight to ninth-seeded Carolina could cost them their playoff spot, so a big night from CMC is all but a must.
