McCormick is mentioned as a potential Week 1 elevation if SF questions McCaffrey’s availability, but SF did not promote him. His presence highlights the backfield depth chatter and the possibility of in-season usage if injuries or game flow dictate.

McCormick went undrafted with the Raiders and spent most of last season on their practice squad, flashing a burst and vision in limited action. In SF’s setup, his downhill running style could supply depth for zone schemes, especially if SF deals with injuries. His path to season snaps likely depends on roster moves and opportunity in beat-the-traffic moments.

McCormick was the odd man out as LV trimmed to a lean four-back group. His talent is undeniable, but the depth chart pressures pushed him toward a potential practice-squad run. His future could hinge on waivers outcomes and how the Raiders value special-teams contributions.

McCormick delivered downhill runs with a TD and positive blocking against SF’s backups, signaling potential enabler role behind the primary backfield. His preseason efficiency hints at a real shot to contribute during the regular season in a RB-by-committee approach, giving fantasy managers a watchlist option for depth.

Sincere McCormick, a promising back, will support Jeanty and Mostert in the Raiders' revamped rushing attack.
