McCaffrey is now over 30 and when he misses time, he misses a lot. The 49ers drafted Black to be the latest number two behind him and if he gets a chance has a huge upside in the scheme. If McCaffrey plays the whole year, he is not much value.

McCaffrey will continue to dominate touches when healthy, so view Black as a moderate-upside handcuff.

Kaelon Black's role 'about to expand quite a bit' with McCaffrey questionable

49ers rookie RB Kaelon Black was pulled from kick-return duty during Sunday's game at the Falcons with RB Christian McCaffrey questionable. Black had returned kicks a couple of times earlier in the game, presumably being taken off the unit because "his role in the offense is about to expand quite a bit."
