The duo rotated immediately in Week 1, and they finished with 26 snaps each on early downs. The difference in Week 1 was CMC handled 10-of-12 late-down snaps, which makes total sense, of course.

McCaffrey's role is reduced by Kaelon Black, but goal-line and pass work remain elite.

McCaffrey is projected for 102.5 total yards in Week 2 vs. Miami. Kyle Shanahan's stated goal is to give CMC more juice and fresher legs by deploying third-round rookie Kaelon Black as a complement rusher. The duo rotated immediately in Week 1, finishing with 26 snaps each on early downs; McCaffrey handled 10-of-12 late-down snaps. Despite the rotation and no goal-line carries in Week 1, McCaffrey posted 14.6 expected half-PPR points (RB13). He should retain a large share of goal-line attempts and pass-game work even with Black stealing between-the-20s early-down carries. The 49ers are projected for 29.5 points (second) at home against the tanking Dolphins.
