From the article

The 49ers rookie running back has been underwhelming to begin the year. It looked like he'd be a focal point of the offense in Week 1, but his snaps have dwindled since. He's only playing about 11% of the time this year.

Negative signalRole

Black's snap share collapsed from Week 1 to 11%, pass-blocking role underutilized.

Black has been underwhelming through five weeks, with snap share dwindling from Week 1 to just 11% of the time. Despite being drafted as one of the better pass-blocking prospects, he's only been used 1.3% of the time in that role. Kyle Shanahan shows no clear offensive identity when Black is in the game, with even splits between runs (47%) and pass routes (41%).
