Scouting report

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Giants
With Colin Kaepernick providing nothing in the passing game, Hyde has gone bust the past three weeks. Last week he managed just 20 rushing yards on eight carries. The Giants are allowing less than 70 rushing yards per game - partly because they've been so easy to throw against. At this point, you can't count on Hyde as much more than a low-end No. 2 back or high-end flex until the quarterback play gets better.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs Green Bay
Hyde has been kind of forgotten the past two weeks as the 49ers have fallen behind early and been forced to all but abandon their running game. He only 15 carries last week at Arizona and turned those into just 51 yards. He had just one catch, as well, for 10 yards. With Reggie Bush expected back this week, his workload could go down, if anything. The hope here is he can at least be effective down close. The Packers haven't allowed much to opposing backs the past two weeks after getting gouged in the opener on the ground, but they did allow three rushing touchdowns last week. Hyde should get his 15 to 20 touches again this week and be a decent No. 2 fantasy option.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Arizona
After going for a NFL-best 168 yards in the opener, Hyde was a fantasy star. He proved to be a shooting star, however, picking up just 43 yards on 13 carries against the Steelers and leaving the game twice - once with a knee contusion, the second time with a head injury. He runs hard, sometimes too hard, which leads to big collisions. The Cardinals have given up just 137 rushing yards and a score in two games to opposing running backs, which means the sledding could be tough again this week for Hyde. He should produce enough to be a decent No. 2 starter though, especially if he can get into the end zone.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh
Hyde had an NFL-high 168 yards rushing and two scores on 26 carries last week against the Vikings, adding 14 receiving yards on two catches as well. The Steelers did give up 69 yards on 15 carries to Dion Lewis last week at New England, but just 80 yards on 24 overall carries. A lot of Lewis' yards came with the Steelers looking to stop the pass first, which might not be as big of an issue this week. Hyde should produce well enough to be a solid No. 1 starter, but I don't think he's going for 168 yards again.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Minnesota
Hyde takes over as San Francisco's lead back after years of Frank Gore holding down the job. Reggie Bush will spell him and play on third downs, so Hyde's ceiling is limited. He will get the goal line carries, though, which is big. Hyde should see 15 to 20 touches and produce around 60-75 total yards per game. But because he won't catch a lot of passes, he's a better option in standard scoring leagues than he is in PPR leagues. Even with that, he's a third RB option or flex play against the Vikings this week.

Fantasy Upside
With Frank Gore gone, Carlos Hyde takes over as the lead back in San Francisco. If he gets Gore-like carries - 200 to 250 - he should put up close to 1,000 total yards.

Fantasy Downside
Reggie Bush makes it a crowded backfield, and his presence means Hyde is not going to give you much as a receiver. The 49ers also have lost a lot since last season ended and play in a division loaded with strong defensive teams. It's not a favorable schedule.

Bottom Line
Hyde is going in the fourth round of most drafts, which is a nice spot to get a second running back. That's exactly what Hyde will be this season - though he has some upside. He's not as valuable in PPR leagues, but 1,000 yards and five to 10 TDs should be doable.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Carlos Hyde Week 15 vs. Seattle
Two carries, four yards last week? No thanks. Hyde had five carries for 19 yards against the Seahawks two weeks ago. That's about the high end of what you can expect.
