San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde will not play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. It will be his second week out of the lineupm and he hasn't practiced in two weeks due to a foot fracture. He has no timetable to return.
Carlos Hyde injury update: Out this week, 49ers have unreliable fantasy backups
Carlos Hyde is not going to play this week. We break down the fantasy implications.
The 49ers are in deep trouble. Running back Reggie Bush (knee) is also out, so they're going to be counting on several non-household names even in the fantasy world. It should be a combination of Kendall Gaskins, Pierre Thomas and Shaun Draughn this week.
No running back has really separated himself from the others, so it's not a desirable battle to pursue. Plus, the 49ers will have quarterback Blaine Gabbert under center this week. Yes, the 49ers are in complete disarray as an offense.
Fantasy impact: If you’re really, really desperate, you can give Gaskins a look this week. Hyde is not a must-stash player, but he should probably be on 10-team rosters.
