Kaelon Black is only rostered in 39% of Yahoo leagues. That's way too low considering CMC has dealt with lower-body 'issues' in training camp and as recently as Week 7. Black would likely inherit 15-20 carries and a couple of targets per game should anything happen to the fantasy superstar.

Black's 39% roster rate is too low given McCaffrey's injury history and handcuff upside.

Rookie Kaelon Black is one of the most high-upside handcuffs in fantasy football and is only rostered in 39% of Yahoo leagues—way too low given Christian McCaffrey's lower-body injury history in training camp and Week 7. Over the past two games, Black has handled 39% of the team's carries (23 carries for 133 yards and a score) compared to 42% for CMC, with third-stringer Jordan James only managing four carries. Should McCaffrey miss time, Black would likely inherit 15-20 carries and a couple of targets per game and become a borderline RB1 with lead-back status, though without the receiving upside to match CMC's ceiling.
