San Francisco 49ers perhaps finally have complementary RB with Christian McCaffrey
Rookie RB Kaelon Black is only one yard behind Christian McCaffrey in rushing yards.
The San Francisco 49ers have seemingly found a complementary running back in rookie Kaleon Black, who has been taking some of the workload off Christian McCaffrey since joining the team. Through two games, Black has amassed 90 rushing yards on 21 attempts, averaging 4.3 yards per carry, while McCaffrey has only 91 yards on 20 attempts.
Together, they have formed a formidable duo, leading the 49ers' rushing attack, which ranks eighth in both yards and yards per attempt. This development comes as the Cardinals, the 49ers' NFC West rivals, struggle with their run defense, ranking 22nd in yards allowed and 16th in yards per attempt. The 49ers host the Cardinals on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX.
