The San Francisco 49ers are listing Carlos Hyde as questionable vs. the New Orleans Saints in Week 9.
A shoulder injury sidelined Hyde in Week 7 before the 49ers had their bye in Week 8. He was limited in practice this week while wearing a non-contact jersey. You should consider Hyde as highly questionable for Sunday and plan to have a different player in his place.
If he does play, Hyde could be in for a big game vs. a Saints defense struggling to stop anyone. In six games, Hyde has 429 yards and six touchdowns on 109 carries to go with 13 catches for 66 yards.
If he is out, the 49ers will rely on Mike Davis and Shaun Draughn as their top backs.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Hyde as the 12th-best running back in Week 9. He faces a Saints defense allowing the second-most points to running backs this season.
If he is active, start Hyde on your fantasy team, but plan on him being inactive.
