From the episode

after the game, Cal Shannon said that Christian McCaffrey was having cramps during the game. So that might have contributed to this. I think it's probably more likely that we're just going to see a bigger split this year because they want to give Christian McCaffrey a break

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

McCaffrey's cramps in week one may signal a planned workload reduction.

The source reports that Christian McCaffrey had cramps during week one, which may have contributed to Kaelan Black's elevated snap share (43%). However, the source expects a bigger split this year as Kyle Shanahan aims to give McCaffrey a break and avoid the 400 touches he led the NFL with last season.
