A week after exploding for a huge game, with 182 total yards and two scores, San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde was quiet in Week 2. He couldn't find the end zone and was held out of most of the second half during the 49ers' 43-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Carlos Hyde misses time with head injury, fantasy value holding firm
The 49ers running back was held out of the second half Sunday as a precaution, according to the team’s coach. We break down the fantasy implications.

Hyde had 43 rushing yards on 13 carries and 18 receiving yards on four catches in the game before leaving early in the third quarter after complaining of dizziness. The team elected to keep Hyde out for the rest of the game despite him clearing all the tests because they trailed by so much.
Fantasy impact: It sounds like a bullet was dodged with Hyde, and he has no concussion, meaning he won’t be going through the league’s concussion protocol. Expect him to be good to go for Week 3, and a likely top-10 option when that Week 3 game comes around.
