The Read: Black is a dense, downhill runner with burst, contact balance, and a perfect-fit landing spot if San Francisco wants to keep the run game rolling behind Christian McCaffrey. The fantasy case is not soft, but it is narrow: he needs receiving trust, pass protection, and depth-chart friction to turn a very good system bet into a usable weekly role.
Dynasty UseRB stash / scheme betBest as a middle-round rookie target with contingency value, spike-week upside, and 49ers ecosystem appeal.
Risk ShapeRole squeezeOlder rookie, crowded backfield, and passing-down questions make the runway thinner than the landing spot makes it feel.
