RotoWire NFL Articles on Kaelon Black

Black is McCaffrey's RB2 if James is out, but passing-down concerns limit his upside.

Kaelon Black is the clear RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey if Jordan James remains absent due to his fractured rib. Black is a rookie third-round pick who ran a 4.46-second pro day 40 after being snubbed by the NFL Combine and was generally productive throughout his six-year collegiate career. However, Black was never a starter in college, with undrafted rookies Roman Hemby, Ty'Son Lawton, and Justice Ellison starting ahead of him. The fact that Black couldn't take snaps away from undrafted players implies he might have passing-down limitations that could prevent him from seizing the RB2 role even if James stays out. At ADP RB69, Black carries uncertainty.
