Black was one of the most overdrafted players of the spring... James and Black have similar skill-sets — early-day box checkers who don't catch many passes... it's not a particularly interesting battle behind CMC.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Black's overdraft status and limited receiving upside make him a risky No. 2 back option.

Black, a third-round rookie, was one of the most overdrafted players of the spring. He and second-year fifth-rounder Jordan James have similar skill-sets as early-day box checkers who don't catch many passes. While Black has better draft capital as the 'new guy,' the source notes it's not a particularly interesting battle behind McCaffrey, whose injury would lead to an ad hoc committee rather than a clear No. 2 back. Black's overdraft status and lack of receiving upside limit his fantasy ceiling.
