Christian McCaffrey has averaged just 4.4 yards per carry and Kaelon Black has averaged 3.9 yards per carry, thanks to the wrinkles in the run game with Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy's ability to extend plays with his legs.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Black averaging 3.9 YPC; 49ers run game success driven by line, not back efficiency.

Black has averaged 3.9 yards per carry through four weeks and ranks 45th in yards after contact; the 49ers' run game improvement to 10th in EPA per rush and eighth in rushing success rate is driven by offensive line play (fifth in yards before contact per rush at 1.93 yards) and scheme wrinkles rather than individual back performance.
