49ers not sure Carlos Hyde will play again this year

Dec 07, 2015

Running back Carlos Hyde, who has not practiced or played since Oct. 22 due to a stress fracture in his right foot, might not get his wish of playing again this season, 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said.

"I don't know if Carlos will play this year or not,” Tomsula said on Monday at the his press conference at Levi’s Stadium. “I know Carlos would like to try and play."

Fantasy Impact:

Hyde’s return has been in question since he exited the lineup after attempting to play two games with the foot injury. He could require surgery to help repair the fracture of his fifth metatarsal. Hyde is the 49ers’ leading rusher with 470 yards despite missing the past five games, the story said. With the 49ers not going anywhere, it would make sense to just shelf their RB.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
