2026 Season Outlook

Jordan James

A fifth-round pick out of Oregon in 2025, it was easy to miss the fact that James pretty much matched the production of Bucky Irving when they both played for the Ducks. Although he's neither big (5-10, 205) nor fast (4.55-second 40), James' collegiate production says he has clear natural running ability between the tackles. James was reportedly ahead of Isaac Guerendo on the San Francisco depth chart going into the offseason, so James will likely compete with third-round pick rookie Kaelon Black for the chance to be the RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey in 2026

Kaelon Black a Threat to Win Backup RB Job in San Fran?

Kaelon Black Christian McCaffrey Jordan James

The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James' biggest rival for the No. 2 job behind Christian McCaffrey this year might be third-round rookie Kaelon Black. The 49ers thought the 24-year-old Black was the second-best RB in the recent draft. He lacks the elusive skills that James possesses, but he is "sharp and powerfully built," and perhaps most importantly, he "handles himself well as a backfield blocker." The quickest way for a rookie RB to get reps on the field in meaningful games is to hold their own as a blocker, so Black could push James this season for a change-of-pace role. And don't forget that head coach Kyle Shanahan plans to get McCaffrey some more rest in 2026. In his final season in college at Indiana, Black had 186 carries for 1,040 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, adding just four receptions for 36 yards in 16 games played. Black probably won't have much redraft appeal in his rookie campaign unless CMC gets hurt. In dynasty setups, RotoBaller has Black ranked as the No. 50 RB

Jordan James - Gets some late run on ST

Jordan James

James did not record a touch while appearing in three games for the 49ers in 2025. The rookie fifth-round pick was a healthy scratch for the first 14 weeks of the regular season before being activated on special teams for the final three contests. The 49ers only deploy their top two running backs on offense, so all three of James' appearances were limited to kick coverage in 2025. James will have to prove his worth in training camp as a sophomore next season in order to return as a depth piece behind star RB Christian McCaffrey
