Positive signalRole

Black averaging 4.5 YPC with significant role; flex appeal vs. Cowboys.

Black has established a significant role in the 49ers offense as a rookie, gaining 70 yards on 11 carries in Week 9's lopsided win over the Raiders while Christian McCaffrey received a heavy workload. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has maximized RB usage to compensate for multiple WR injuries, and Black has responded by averaging 4.5 yards per carry. His lack of involvement in the passing game limits upside, but he carries flex appeal into Week 10 against the Cowboys defense, which has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing RBs.
