San Francisco 49ers running back Shaun Draughn continued as the team's lead back against the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Draughn finished the game with 36 rushing yards and a touchdown, adding five receptions for 50 yards. Draughn finished with 18 touches overall. His touchdown on Sunday was the first of the season for the fifth-year back. Running back Carlos Hyde (foot) continues to miss time with a stress fracture. As long as Hyde is inactive, Draughn should continue to see a heavy workload.

Fantasy impact: Draughn is available in nearly half of Yahoo! leagues. He should be picked up in all formats as a flex option with plenty of upside. There's a chance that Hyde is placed on injured reserve. Draughn may not be a flashy talent, but the quantity of touches is there. He's averaging over five receptions over the past four weeks, giving him a boost in PPR leagues. He'll have RB2 upside against the dysfunctional Cleveland Browns.
