ESPN Fantasy Football on Kaelon Black
From the article
Black is a physical runner who relies on tackle-breaking and fighting for extra yards more than making a defender miss. His fantasy value is tied to the health of Christian McCaffrey, who is coming off of a 450-touch season (including playoffs) and has missed practice time this preseason.
STACKED’s take
Black's value hinges on McCaffrey's health; backfield injuries create opportunity for RB2 role.
Black went to the 49ers in the third round, which many draft pundits thought was a reach, but that matters less if Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers coaching staff believe in the rookie. Black is a physical runner who relies on tackle-breaking and fighting for extra yards more than making a defender miss. His fantasy value is tied to the health of Christian McCaffrey, who is coming off a 450-touch season (including playoffs) and has missed practice time this preseason. The entire 49ers backfield is banged up, with Jordan James, Isaac Guerendo and Black all dealing with injuries. Whoever is able to win the RB2 job or is healthy enough to handle that work could see a huge spike in fantasy value should CMC miss any time.
