STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Black's -0.10 EPA per touch and 2.6% explosive rate show early inefficiency.

Black's efficiency metrics are poor: 2.6% explosive play rate, -0.10 EPA per touch, and only one impact play through five weeks. In the red zone, he averages 2.6 yards per carry versus 3.9 yards per carry outside the red zone. While he shows some positive traits (bouncing off tackles, falling forward, gaining yards after contact), he struggles with decision-making in 1-on-1 situations, bounces runs unnecessarily, and gets stuffed behind the line.
