Kaelon Black at Seattle — Backup Role Keeps Him on Benches
Black continues to serve as the clear backup behind Christian McCaffrey on San Francisco's depth chart. The rookie has earned trust within the offense, drawing recent praise from Brock Purdy after improvising a crucial fourth-down conversion, yet his weekly touches remain strictly supplemental.
Rostered in 56% of leagues but started in fewer than 1%, Black functions strictly as a premium handcuff stash rather than an active lineup option. Our weekly projection forecasts around 8 carries for 30 rushing yards (4.1 fantasy points) in Seattle, meaning fantasy managers should keep him firmly on the bench.

Dontayvion Wicks at Jacksonville — Expanding Role in London
Dontayvion Wicks has secured a starting perimeter role for Philadelphia, drawing five or more targets in three straight contests. With fellow receiver DeVonta Smith questionable due to a hamstring injury, Wicks could see an expanded target share from Jalen Hurts. Teammates and coaches have highlighted his ability to separate quickly in crucial situations, cementing his weekly involvement.
Rostered in 83% of leagues, Wicks is a viable flex play this week. Our models project him for around 3 receptions, 48 yards, and 5 targets in London against Jacksonville. Fantasy managers have started him in roughly 33% of leagues, but his role offers dependable WR3 floor with elevated upside if Smith is limited.
