Risk Flags
2- Injury Concerns
Black missed roughly two weeks of training camp in August 2026 with a thigh/adductor strain and carries a questionable tag for a thigh issue again entering Week 2, raising the possibility of a recurring soft-tissue pattern for a between-the-tackles runner.
- Usage & Volume
Christian McCaffrey remains the clear RB1 when healthy, which caps Black's touch share and week-to-week ceiling to change-of-pace work in the weeks McCaffrey plays a full slate.
