From the article

While the Rams slept walk through their Week 1 game against their division rival, San Fran absolutely came in with an offensive attack that was almost unsettling given the lack of Christian McCaffrey carries (10 for 68). The All-Pro back was his usual destructive force as a pass catcher, but that the rookie third-round pick led the team in carries (14) and that the work was interspersed throughout the first half, and not in what became a laugher in the second, is notable. Coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the best run-game schemers in the league and much in the same way Bears coach Ben Johnson gets the most out of D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, getting a share of the Shanahan rushing attack for effectively free is valuable to me.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Black's early lead role in Shanahan's run game offers waiver value despite McCaffrey's presence.

The rookie third-round pick led the 49ers in carries (14) in Week 1 despite Christian McCaffrey's presence, with work interspersed throughout the first half rather than concentrated in garbage time. Under Kyle Shanahan's elite run-game scheme, getting a share of the rushing attack for effectively free is valuable; Shanahan's approach mirrors how Bears coach Ben Johnson maximizes D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.
