Kaelon Black shows contingent value as potential McCaffrey backup in Shanahan system.

Kaelon Black is operating as the 49ers' lead back while Christian McCaffrey remains sidelined, which is notable because the handcuff in a Kyle Shanahan offense behind McCaffrey is arguably the most valuable backup running back role in fantasy football. Jordan James is also sidelined, which has opened the door for Black to make a push for the No. 2 job. Black returned to practice earlier this week after a brief absence and had several big plays Tuesday without appearing to miss a beat. This is about recognizing that he could carry massive contingent value if he emerges as McCaffrey's direct backup.
