Super Bowl LVIII is almost here, as the San Francisco 49ers face the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of Super Bowl LIV. While we still have our fantasy postseason leagues at stake, there’s going to be a ton of wagering on the big game including player props. With that in mind, I did some research on the stats and trends that you need to know about some of the biggest names and the most popular props that will be played. That includes the running backs, Christian McCaffrey and Isiah Pacheco. Here’s some info you’ll need to know before placing your own bets!
Super Bowl fantasy player rankings

McCaffrey has rushed for at least 91 yards in 10 of 18 games (56%), but he has also rushed for at least 85 yards in two others. He has missed the mark in two of his last three games, but he was limited to just 38 offensive snaps in one of them (Week 17). In his last eight games where he had seen at least 43 offensive snaps, McCaffrey has rushed for at least 91 yards seven different times (88%).
The Chiefs have allowed at least 91 yards to a running back just twice, and both times it came against the Las Vegas Raiders (Weeks 12 and 16). What’s more, their defense has allowed an average of just 67 rushing yards to the 15 running backs who have received at least 10 attempts against them this season.
McCaffrey has posted at least 34 receiving yards eight times in 18 games (44%). However, he has hit that mark once in his last four games and twice in his last six.
The Chiefs have allowed a running back to finish with at least 34 receiving yards just three times this season. Those three backs were James Cook, Austin Ekeler and Justice Hill. Two runners have had at least 34 receiving yards in their last four games against Kansas City, however, and a third finished with 27 yards.

McCaffrey has scored 25 touchdowns in 18 games, and he’s failed to score once just three times. One of those games was Week 16, when he played just 38 snaps.
The Chiefs have allowed a touchdown to a running back just 10 times, and just one has scored against them in their last six games. That was Joe Mixon (Week 17).
