NBC Sports Rotoworld on Jordan James

James' three appearances and zero touches in 2025 leave him behind Kaelon Black for No. 2 role.

James, the No. 147 overall pick from last year's draft, was rarely active in 2025, making just three appearances and failing to notch an offensive touch. He is competing with third-round rookie Kaelon Black for the No. 2 running back role. While he theoretically has more experience under Shanahan than Black, Black's superior draft capital gives him the edge. The source notes this is not a particularly interesting battle behind McCaffrey.
