That's just kind of how the game went. It probably has to do with probably starting out the game with three runs in the first 17 plays.

McCaffrey limited to 10 carries in Week 1; Shanahan plans regular rotation with Black.

McCaffrey had 10 carries for 68 yards in Week 1 against the Rams, taking a reduced workload compared to rookie Kaelon Black. Shanahan acknowledged the split was partly situational—the 49ers built a large lead and started the game with three runs in the first 17 plays—but also indicated he intends to rotate Black into the offense regularly to manage McCaffrey's workload. McCaffrey is in his 10th NFL season at 30 years old and has a history of injuries, including an Achilles injury two years ago and calf tightness during training camp.
