The rookie responded well to the added workload, averaging 5.3 yards and scoring a touchdown on his 12 carries. In the event that those players are out for an extended period of time, Black would be a viable flex option after the bye.

STACKED’s take

Black's 5.3 YPC in expanded role makes him stash candidate if McCaffrey sidelined.

Black responded well to added workload in Week 7 due to multiple WR injuries and a Christian McCaffrey hamstring ailment, averaging 5.3 yards and scoring a touchdown on 12 carries. His success was reminiscent of his Week 1 effort with 65 yards on 14 carries. In the event that McCaffrey and Mike Evans are out for an extended period after the bye, Black would be a viable flex option. He's an interesting player to stash for those with bench space given McCaffrey's injury history.
