From the episode

We don't know if week one was overseas CMC cramping up, not being 100%, easing to the workload, whatever it might be. And they might go back to CMC from last year where he just gets 20 touches.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Black is a high-upside handcuff with uncertain weekly volume and flex viability.

Kalon Black is a popular waiver pickup due to his status as the primary handcuff to Christian McCaffrey, but his startability is uncertain. Fitzmaurice ranks him RB38, noting that his 40% snap share in Week 1 might have been influenced by McCaffrey's lower-body tightness or the unique travel circumstances of the Australia game. Seeley ranks him RB37, placing him in a tier of committee backs with high risk of low touch counts if the 49ers revert to a heavy McCaffrey workload.
