McCormick's last meaningful action came in 2024 with the Raiders, where he packed real production into four games: 39 carries for 183 yards at 4.69 per tote, a 15.38 percent explosive-run rate, and 21.2 fantasy points (RB83). He flashed home-run ability with a 29-yard long and added six catches on seven targets, but the sample is tiny and his -0.01 EPA per play plus a modest 1.69 yards after contact reflect a back yet to prove durability or a defined role.

The move to San Francisco places him deep on the depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Jordan James, with Isaac Guerendo also around. There is no clear runway to touches while McCaffrey is upright, and McCormick's own availability has been a recurring question. The Shanahan scheme can elevate a zone-fit runner, which gives him a faint contingency-value upside if injuries strike ahead of him. For now he is a waiver-wire watch and at most a deep-dynasty stash, not a 2026 redraft asset.
