From the article
Black played a season-high 47% snap share in that game and had 12-63-1 rushing. The third running back selected in this year's draft and the only RB drafted in either the second or third rounds, Black has been impressive as a runner thus far, with 233 yards and a touchdown on 57 carries. He has an excellent 57.9% rushing success rate.
STACKED’s take
Black's 47% snap share and 57.9% rushing success rate make him a strong speculative add if McCaffrey's injury worsens.
The 49ers' third-round rookie running back played a season-high 47% snap share in Week 7 when Christian McCaffrey strained his hamstring, recording 12-63-1 rushing. Black has impressed as a runner with 233 yards and a touchdown on 57 carries, posting an excellent 57.9% rushing success rate and above-average rushing yards over expected per carry and yards after contact per carry. He has good run vision unlike typical Kamikaze-style ball carriers. Black lacks pass-catching aptitude (3 catches for 4 yards), but represents an excellent speculative add in case McCaffrey's injury worsens; the source recommends a hearty FAAB bid if available. McCaffrey's injury history with coach Kyle Shanahan (who was not forthright about a 2024 calf tightness that turned into Achilles tendinitis) adds uncertainty.
