Drafted in Round 3, Kaelon Black returned from a thigh injury to command first-team reps with Christian McCaffrey sidelined, flashing his 100.6 Speed Score on a 50-yard explosive run and securing high-value touches near the goal line. With Jordan James nursing a broken rib, Black drew praise from Brock Purdy for his contact balance, taking firm control of the primary backup role.

Stash Black across deep redraft formats to capture immense contingent upside if the brittle, 30-year-old McCaffrey misses regular-season snaps. Black is PlayerProfiler’s RB55 for fantasy football dynasty leagues.
