STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McCaffrey's RB9 rank masks workload split; Black has more carries.

The source notes McCaffrey is RB9 but warns of regression due to reduced workload. Kalon Black has 21 rushing attempts versus McCaffrey's 20 over two weeks; McCaffrey's recent numbers were inflated by one or two touchdowns. The 49ers are splitting carries down the middle to preserve the 30-year-old McCaffrey for the Super Bowl run. The source advises selling high now while possible, as this is the last chance to exit before the workload split becomes more apparent.
