For fantasy players curious about Jeff Wilson Jr. "vulturing" touchdowns at the goal line, this is what Kyle Shanahan said on Monday: "I wouldn't say he's our designated red-zone back, but that was how we planned going into the game... We tried to do that when we got down there.”

Nick Wagoner went on to say, "there might be no official designation but clearly Wilson gives #49ers a more physical presence and for time being it makes sense to give him carries in short yardage and goal line situations considering success he had last week."

The 49ers backfield keeps getting messier. Raheem Mostert and Matt Breidsa split work for much of Week 2 with Jeff Wilson grabbing two short touchdown runs and that workload is what we have to go by as we project usage in Week 3 against the Steelers. All three could have value once again, but it is more likely that one or two of the backs ends up left out of strong fantasy points against a tougher run defense this week.

49ers Kyle Shanahan on Tevin Coleman: "It's a high-ankle sprain so pretty sure not around this week."

Coleman is week-to-week the tweet went on to say. Shanahan said the 9ers don't think IR is a possibility and the team plans to ride it out.

49ers RB Tevin Coleman suffered an ankle sprain in yesterday’s win over the Bucs, source said, an injury that is expected to force him to miss time.

Coleman’s having tests today (in Youngstown, OH, where the team is staying) to determine the nature of the sprain, Rapoport added. No timetable was given. This shouldn't be a shock to owners who probably saw this news coming last night. Breida, Mostert and Wilson will now take over in the backfield. Breida is the presumed starter but keep an eye on Mostert who had a nice day after Coleman left the game in Week 1. Wilson is expected to be promoted.

Tevin Coleman was quickly ruled out after he sustained an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday’s 31-17 win over the Buccaneers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he is concerned about Coleman’s injury. Coleman, who was observed wearing a boot on his left foot, will have an MRI exam Monday.

We'll likely know more later today about how the MRI went for Coleman, but owners should expect him to miss some time - reading between the lines of this article. The story added Wilson will get promoted and join Breida and Mostert as the teams RBs until Coleman can return. Mostert was most impressive with 40 yards on nine carries and he also had a TD run called back, but Breida is likely to be the starter.

Wilson should see a big workload with Breida out. The Niners play at the Rams in Week 17.

RB Matt Breida left the game late with an ankle aggravation. Jeff Wilson stepped in and played big in OT.

At this point we don't know how serious the injury is. Breida was out-snapping Wilson for most of the game until the injury. Depending on how Breida is for Week 16, it's very possibly Wilson could be in for a bigger workload. The bad news is the Niners host the Bears next week.
