With the backfield wide open for a few minutes, Black racked up a dozen carries for 63 yards and a score. Black is arguably the best contingent bet on the board. If anything happens to McCaffrey, he's a plug-and-play RB1. The CMC injury might also force the 49ers to get Black more involved on a weekly basis. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the 9ers get their bye this week, so Black won't even be a FLEX consideration until Week 9.

Black is the best contingent RB1 bet if McCaffrey gets injured, but 49ers bye limits Week 8.

Black racked up 12 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown when Christian McCaffrey missed several drives in Week 7. The source calls him 'arguably the best contingent bet on the board' and a 'plug-and-play RB1' if anything happens to McCaffrey; the CMC injury might also force the 49ers to get Black more involved weekly. However, the 49ers have their bye in Week 8, so Black won't be a FLEX consideration until Week 9.
