McCaffrey registered eight receptions, 149 scrimmage yards (94 rushing, 55 receiving), and three total touchdowns (one passing, one rushing, one receiving) in the 49ers' 31-14 win at the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. He became the fourth player with a touchdown pass, rushing touchdown, and touchdown reception in a single game since 1970.
This is the first-career Offensive Player of the Week award for McCaffrey, and he becomes the first San Francisco running back to earn the honor since Frank Gore did so after Week 14 of the 2009 season.
McCaffrey is the first-ever former Stanford running back to win the award and is the first Stanford player to win since quarterback Andrew Luck did so after Week 11 of the 2018 season.
Linebacker Za'Darius Smith of the Minnesota Vikings was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Tight end Will Dissly of the Seattle Seahawks was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
On the AFC side, running back Derrick Henry of the Tennesee Titans, defensive end Dre'mont Jones of the Denver Broncos, and kicker Nick Folk of the New England Patriots earned offensive, defensive, and special teams honors, respectively.
