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.

Omar Cooper vs. Dolphins — Rookie Looks to Build on Breakout Performance
Cooper enters Week 7 after capturing NFL Rookie of the Week honors, posting six receptions, 103 yards, and a 48-yard touchdown against New England following his return from an ankle injury. Operating as New York's primary slot receiver alongside Garrett Wilson, the rookie displayed game-breaking run-after-catch ability that injected immediate juice into the offense.
Fantasy managers responded by driving his roster rate above 70%, though his start rate sits near 20% while fantasy managers verify weekly volume. Facing a winless Miami squad at home, our weekly projection pegs Cooper for roughly 3 receptions and 38 yards (8.3 fantasy points). He shapes up as an intriguing Flex option who brings explosive upside if target volume remains steady.
