STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

McCaffrey getting high-value touches; 23% target share (RB3) with goal-line role secure.

McCaffrey projects for 98.5 total yards and should not panic Round 1 owners; he's getting the high-value touches with two goal-line TDs and another goal-line attempt, while Kaelon Black wasn't on the field in any of these situations. McCaffrey has a 23% target share (RB3) and 4.5 receptions per game (RB5). He's the RB9 on RB9 usage so far in the most sustainable way possible, with the 49ers offense looking elite. Black complementing between the 20s on pure runs is fine since those give 0.4 fantasy points per touch; the value is in targets (~one fantasy point) and goal-line carries (~four fantasy points).
