we've since gotten confirmation that Black will have the first crack at this role. The 49ers clearly have one of the most valuable backfields across the entire league when it comes to fantasy production, and we know CMC struggles with extended injuries on occasion.

Black locked into 49ers RB2 role; elite backfield environment warrants roster spot.

A rookie drafted 90th overall in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Black is one of the source's favorite low-owned running back handcuffs going into 2026. Confirmation has been received that Black will have the first crack at the RB2 role behind Christian McCaffrey. While Black's prospect profile does not inspire confidence and the source believes he was significantly overdrafted by the 49ers, the 49ers backfield is one of the most valuable across the entire league for fantasy production, and CMC struggles with extended injuries on occasion; Black needs to be rostered everywhere going into Week 1.
