Kaelon Black vs. LV — High-Upside Option With Christian McCaffrey Banged Up
Operating as the primary backup in San Francisco's backfield, Black proved his burst with a 30-yard touchdown run in his last outing. With Christian McCaffrey nursing a fresh hamstring issue and listed as questionable, Black could see an expanded workload. Fantasy managers should monitor McCaffrey's status closely right up until kickoff.
Our models project Black for roughly 10 carries, 43 rushing yards, and 6.6 fantasy points in a change-of-pace role. With the 49ers heavy home favorites in an expected high-scoring matchup against the Raiders, game script favors the ground game. Roster percentage sits at 47% while started in under 2% of leagues, making him a priority stash and viable flex streamer if the starter sits.

Elijah Mitchell vs. Giants — Pass-Catching Upside in a Shorthanded Backfield
With Dameon Pierce recently landing on injured reserve, Mitchell has stepped up into an active depth role behind Saquon Barkley. Over his last two games for Philadelphia, Mitchell has handled 14 carries and hauled in seven receptions on 10 targets, carving out meaningful passing-down work.
Our weekly projections list him at zero fantasy points pending official confirmation of his gameday elevation, keeping him primarily as a bench stash. However, with the Eagles entering as home underdogs in a low 39.5-point scoring environment, Mitchell profiles as a viable deep-league play whose steady pass-catching involvement offers emergency PPR value.
