Kaelon Black vs ARI — High-Value Stash with Limited Standalone Role
Black put any groin concerns behind him after suiting up in Week 2, cementing his role as the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey on the depth chart. The rookie has logged 21 carries through his first two contests, flashing good burst while giving San Francisco a physical presence to spell McCaffrey.
With the 49ers favored at home against Arizona, Black could see additional clock-killing opportunities late, but his standalone fantasy value remains low. Our projections slate him for around 38 rushing yards on roughly nine carries (5.4 fantasy points), making him a pure bench stash rather than an active lineup option while McCaffrey is healthy.

Kalif Raymond vs PHI at home — surprising early target volume keeps him in deep PPR play
Operating as Chicago's starting slot receiver, Raymond has surprisingly paced the Bears' receiving corps with 13 receptions on 14 targets through two games, out-producing teammate Luther Burden III. With starting quarterback Caleb Williams currently questionable due to a hamstring injury, the passing attack may prioritize Raymond's reliable underneath route running.
Our weekly projection expects Raymond to regress toward 2.9 catches for 29.2 yards (6.6 fantasy points) against Philadelphia. His roster rate has quickly climbed to 20%, and while his 2% start rate reflects caution, he is a viable deep-league play in full-PPR formats despite a lower-scoring game environment.
