Backup Role Behind Christian McCaffrey Caps Standalone Value in Atlanta

Operating as San Francisco's primary backup behind Christian McCaffrey, Black has settled into a modest change-of-pace role. The rookie has logged 14 carries over his last two contests and is completely healthy after returning from an excused personal absence.

In what projects as a high-scoring road matchup against the Falcons, our projections slate Black for roughly 7 carries, 28 rushing yards, and 5.4 fantasy points. With McCaffrey commanding the bulk of touches and target volume, Black is started in only 3% of leagues and should remain on fantasy benches as a premier insurance stash.

Bam Knight vs. Broncos — Emerging Backfield Role Sparks Deep-League Flex Appeal

Knight seized his opportunity last week against the Rams, rushing 15 times for 80 yards and securing two receptions to inject life into Arizona's struggling ground game. With starting running back Jeremiyah Love officially ruled out with an ankle injury, Knight is primed to split touches with Tyler Allgeier in the Cardinals' backfield against Denver.

Fantasy managers have taken notice, driving Knight's roster rate from zero up to 21% over the past few days. Our weekly projection lands at 8.4 fantasy points on approximately eight carries and a target. As 4.5-point home underdogs, Arizona may face a tricky game script, but Knight's recent burst makes him a playable Flex option in deeper formats.
