Running back Christian McCaffrey has once again been nominated for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week, an award he has already won twice this season (Weeks 1 and 2). The latest nomination comes after the San Francisco 49ers' Week 4 35-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

McCaffrey rushed for 106 yards on 20 carries (5.3-yard average), adding three rushing touchdowns against the Cardinals. He also had seven receptions for 71 yards and a receiving touchdown, amassing an impressive 177 all-purpose yards and four total touchdowns in the game.

Other nominees for this week's award are Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, who rushed for 122 yards on 22 attempts (5.5 avg.) and a touchdown, and Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery, who rushed for 121 yards on 32 attempts (3.8 avg.) and three touchdowns.

FedEx gives fans the opportunity to recognize weekly top-performing quarterbacks and running backs in games played on Thursday through Sunday through the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards. Voting is open until Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. PT at NFL.com/FedEx each week of the season. Fans can also vote on Twitter via the @NFL published polls and on the NFL Mobile App.


Through the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards, FedEx will make a $2,000 donation in the names of the winning quarterback and running back ($4,000 total) to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).
