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.

Black is best contingent bet; RB1 if McCaffrey injured

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,' noting that if anything happens to McCaffrey, Black is a plug-and-play RB1. The CMC injury might also force the 49ers to get Black more involved weekly. However, San Francisco's bye in Week 8 limits immediate fantasy value.
