James posted 35 yards on 8 carries and 20-yard catch; showed tackle-breaking ability but had short-yardage decision laps

49ers backup RB in preseason action against Raiders; finished with 35 yards on 8 carries (4.4 YPC) including a 17-yard run with good contact balance, plus a 20-yard screen pass catch. Showed ability to bounce off tackles and fall forward for extra yards, but had learning moments: attempted to cut against the grain on a 3rd & 1 instead of staying on path (lost a yard), and was flagged for an illegal block that negated a touchdown pass. Represents potential option to lighten Christian McCaffrey's load.
