McCaffrey limited to 10 carries, 68 yards; workload reduced with Black's debut.

Christian McCaffrey delivered 68 yards on 10 attempts in the 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams, as San Francisco leaned on third-round rookie Kaelon Black to keep McCaffrey fresh. This represents a shift from last season when McCaffrey received a career-high 413 touches; the balanced rushing attack with Black's involvement suggests the 49ers are finally executing Kyle Shanahan's three-year goal of reducing McCaffrey's workload.
