Kaelon Black wound up with 12 carries to McCaffrey's seven. Black carried 12 times for 63 yards and a 30-yard touchdown and caught 1 of 3 for −4 (7.3%, from 3.3%), losing a fumble. He should not be dropped over bye weeks because we could all be shocked if, in two weeks, CMC is still not 100%.

Black explodes with 63 yards, TD; hold as CMC injury insurance.

Black wound up with 12 carries to McCaffrey's seven after CMC suffered a thigh injury in the first half. Black carried 12 times for 63 yards and a 30-yard TD and caught 1 of 3 for -4 yards (7.3% target share, up from 3.3%), losing a fumble. He played 31 of 66 snaps (47%), up 24 points from 14 of 62 (23%) in Week 6, with 15 opportunities on 31 snaps (0.48 per snap; 0.64 in Week 6), 11 of his 12 carries in the first half, and 3 opportunities after halftime. The source advises: 'He should not be dropped over bye weeks because we could all be shocked if, in two weeks, CMC is still not 100%. Don't take the chance.' Fantasy managers should hold Black as insurance.
