Week 7 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Carlos Hyde was strong to start the season, scoring in four straight games, but he's failed to find the end zone for the last two weeks. Not only that, but he averaged a measly 2.4 yards per carry in his last outing. We always knew the TD streak wouldn't last all year, but it'd be nice if he got more than 34 yards.
He should perform a lot better this week against a poor Bucs defense. Even while allowing the most fantasy points to opposing QBs, Tampa Bay has also allowed the seventh-most points to RBs. Hyde should get plenty of opportunities for a strong game vs. Tampa Bay. We like him as an RB2 play.
