49ers Beat: RB Carlos Hyde can keep up this pace

Sep 19, 2017

HC Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch challenged Carlos Hyde in the offseason to come back for training camp in the best shape of his life while waiting to engage him in any talks on a possible contract extension.

Hyde, who is set to be a free agent after the season, responded by reporting to camp under 230 pounds for the first time in his career. It's made him a step faster and allowed him to get skinnier when squeezing through small holes.

Fantasy Impact:

The question remains can Hyde continue to put up consistent numbers. The story said Hyde is the team's top back, after talks of possibly not even making the team out of camp. The hope is the passing game improves which will make the run more effective. And finally, FB Kyle Juszczyk has been opening up holes as a lead blocker.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Mike Garafolo

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
