San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde (foot) has not been practicing this week. He was held out of practice on Tuesday and is listed as questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 7: Carlos Hyde is banged up
Carlos Hyde should play at less than 100 percent. Should he be in your fantasy lineup?

Despite missing practice, there is a good chance that Hyde can play on a short week. However, he did aggravate his foot injury last week and there is a good chance he will be limited. Plus, Hyde didn’t have a great game last week, carrying the ball 21 times for just 55 yards.
It gets worse. The 49ers really struggled against the Seahawks last year. They scored just 10 points combined in two games, and one would think the short week won’t help them.
Fantasy impact: The Seahawks are the second-toughest fantasy matchup for running backs this week, so you would have to be in a bye pickle to start Hyde. He is a very solid RB2 most weeks, but is only a flex this week.
