| News for Black, Kaelon |

Kaelon Black rushed 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers’ Week 7 loss to the Falcons 2026-10-25 17:00:02 Black’s day did not start great as he was stuffed on three straight plays inside the three-yard line on the first drive. Then he watched as Christian McCaffrey scored a touchdown on fourth down. However, McCaffrey also picked up a thigh injury on that drive and missed the remainder of the first half, which allowed Black the opportunity to rip off some nice chunk runs and a long touchdown. McCaffrey did return in the second half, and Black also lost a fumble in the second quarter, so there were some moments of inconsistency. That being said, Black looks like one of the best handcuff running backs in fantasy football. |

49ers RB Kaelon Black (illness) is not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Seahawks. 2026-10-09 19:00:03 Black was limited on Wednesday, but upgraded to full participation on Thursday and Friday. There are no concerns about his ability to handle backup duties against the Seahawks this week. That said, he has just 10 carries over the last two weeks and cannot be started in 12-team FLEX spots. |

Kaelon Black (illness) was limited in Wednesday’s practice. 2026-10-07 16:00:03 This should be a non-issue for Black by the time Sunday comes around. Black cut into Christian McCaffrey’s role again last week with six carries, though he only turned that into 13 yards. He doesn’t have much standalone fantasy value but remains one of the better contingency options headed into Week 5. |

Kaelon Black had six rushes for 13 yards in the 49ers’ Week 4 win against the Broncos. 2026-10-04 22:00:02 After seeing 14 carries in Week 1 against the Rams, Black now has 17 rushing attempts over his past three games as the Niners’ No. 2 back behind Christian McCaffrey. Black should be rostered in most leagues as one of the best contingency options in the game. As long as CMC is healthy, Black should remain on benches. |

Kaelon Black rushed seven times for 25 yards in a Week 2 win over the Dolphins. 2026-09-20 20:00:02 After splitting work fairly evenly with Christian McCaffrey in Week 1, Black took a clearer backup role here. He had some snaps on the first drive of the game, but then Black mixed in sporadically until the game was decided early in the fourth quarter. At the end of the day, the rookie played on 16 of the team’s 45 snaps and is unlikely to have any standalone value; yet, he remains one of the better handcuffs in fantasy football. |
