Christian McCaffrey had 10 carries for 68 yards... McCaffrey was reportedly dealing with cramps in a game halfway across the globe, so it's probably safe to assume he will return to leading the team in carries next week. Still, his efficiency numbers cratered in 2025 and he looked phenomenal in Week 1, so a touches split might make sense for him.

McCaffrey's cramps and Black's usage suggest potential touches split despite Week 1 efficiency.

McCaffrey was out-carried by backup Kaelon Black 14-10 in Week 1 while dealing with cramps in a game halfway across the globe. His efficiency numbers cratered in 2025, but he looked phenomenal in Week 1 with 68 yards on 10 carries. The source assumes he will return to leading the team in carries next week, though a touches split might make sense given his efficiency rebound.
