What happened: McCaffrey ran 22 routes and played 10 third-down snaps in Week 1, per SumerSports. He had praised Black in July.
Why it matters: Black's involvement gives him fantasy relevance beyond serving as an injury replacement. McCaffrey's passing-down usage means rushing volume alone does not capture his role.
By the numbers: Black averaged 4.6 yards per carry and accounted for 58.3% of the two backs' combined rushing attempts.
What to watch: Week 2 will test whether Black maintains that workload and how the backs divide opportunities near the goal line.
