From the article

The rookie played 43% of the snaps and had just as many touches (15) as Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey's efficiencies have dipped in recent years, so he relies on his absurd volume to deliver elite RB1 numbers.

Black's 43% snap share and 15 touches threaten McCaffrey's volume-dependent elite status.

McCaffrey scored 13.8 PPR points in Week 1 but faces workload concerns due to rookie Kaelon Black playing 43% of snaps and receiving 15 touches (matching McCaffrey's total). The source suggests the 49ers may be managing McCaffrey's volume in blowout games, but notes his declining efficiencies mean he relies on high volume for elite RB1 production, making future workload erosion a risk.
