The biggest question is the backfield split, as Christian McCaffrey had 10 carries, while Kaelon Black led the team with 14. It's not panic time in San Francisco for McCaffrey just yet. Australia was a weird game overall; at times, both teams seemed content to minimize the season-long impact travel could have on their team. What does seem clear, however, is that McCaffrey, at 30 years old, may be closer to a 300-touch player than the career-high 413 he had last year.

STACKED’s take

McCaffrey's 10 carries in Week 1 suggests shift toward 300-touch workload at age 30.

McCaffrey had 10 carries in Week 1 while Kaelon Black led team with 14 carries in dominant 27-7 win over Rams in Australia; at 30 years old, McCaffrey may be closer to 300-touch player than career-high 413 from last year, and with San Francisco likely comfortably ahead against Miami at home, may see split workload again as team manages him for difficult tests.
