CLE RB Carlos Hyde - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Carlos Hyde's touchdown streak snapped, but he still had a decent game totaling 77 yards. Perhaps the more positive takeaway is that his playing time wasn't affected despite the big game from Nick Chubb a week prior. Hyde is still the main dog in this backfield.

This week he gets a fairly difficult matchup against the Chargers. L.A. has only allowed two rushing scores to backs this season, and below 60 rush yards in three games. Expect Hyde to be mostly average with a decent chance at a goal line score. He can be viewed as a lower-end RB2 play.

CLE RB Carlos Hyde - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Carlos Hyde didn't finish as the leading rusher last week, but he still had a solid day. He finished with 82 yards on 22 carries and scored once again as he now has at least one TD in every game this season. We wouldn't worry too much about Nick Chubb's big game in Week 4. Hyde has had 20+ touches in 3/4 of games this season and will continue to get the ball.

This week he gets a tough matchup against the Ravens who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-fewest rush yards per game (82.5), and have only given up one score to a back all season. Hyde should still get touches, could continue his TD streak, and he can be viewed as an RB2 play.

CLE RB Carlos Hyde - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Oakland Raiders

Carlos Hyde had quite the day last week. He became a father, celebrated his birthday and scored two touchdowns while the Browns won their first game in over a year. He also finished with over 100 scrimmage yards in his best game of the season. Hyde has now scored in every game so far with the Browns.

He gets an interesting matchup against the Raiders this week as Oakland has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs, but have allowed over 100 yards to the position in the first two games. Hyde should continue to put up similar numbers to what he's done so far and is a solid RB2 play.

CLE RB Carlos Hyde - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New York Jets

Carlos Hyde scored a touchdown in his second consecutive game. His scores are making up for his lackluster performances on the ground. Hyde is seeing the ball plenty (38 carries) but hasn't done much with his touches (2.7 yards per carry). He's also been mostly a non-factor as a receiver, catching one ball in each game.

He gets a somewhat tough matchup this week against the Jets, who have allowed the eighth-fewest points against RBs this season. We expect more of the same from Hyde in Week 3—around 60 yards and a high chance of a TD. We like him as a lower-end RB2.

CLE RB Carlos Hyde - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at New Orleans Saints

Carlos Hyde got plenty of chances to do damage in Week 1, but he couldn't quite take advantage. Hyde received a healthy 22 carries, which was the third-highest in the league, but he finished with 62 yards (2.8 yards per carry). He also scored a touchdown.

Hyde faces a tough task this week against the Saints who struggled against the pass, but they held Bucs backs to 76 yards on 22 carries. We expect a fairly similar game from Hyde where he should see action but finish with a low yards-per-carry average with a strong chance for a score. He should be viewed as a low-end RB2 or RB3 this week.

CLE RB Carlos Hyde - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

After four seasons with the 49ers, Carlos Hyde decided to join the Browns. He'll try and perform a lot better than Isaiah Crowell did a year ago, which shouldn't be too difficult. Hyde is a capable every-down back, but expect him to come out in passing situations in favor of Duke Johnson. There's also a possibility the Browns want to get rookie Nick Chubb involved.

The running back rotation shouldn't scare you too much off of Hyde, but it's certainly a reason why he's not listed among the elite backs in 2018. In a decent matchup against the Steelers, Hyde should be viewed as a solid RB2 play.

CLE RB Carlos Hyde - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Carlos Hyde finished with 1,288 yards last season in San Francisco and comes to Cleveland via free agency. He’s listed as the team’s starter and should get most of the work on rushing downs. He’s proven to be an effective scorer, finishing with eight and nine touchdowns in the last two years, respectively.

Fantasy Downside

Hyde isn’t in an ideal situation for fantasy purposes. His rushing stats will likely be split with talented second-round rookie Nick Chubb. His receiving stats will be hurt by the much-better pass-catcher Duke Johnson. We don’t think Hyde will necessarily be bad, but the opportunities may not be there this season like they were last year when he had nearly 300 touches.

2018 Bottom Line

It took a lot of touches last season for Hyde to really make an impact, and we just don’t see how that will be possible this season with such a loaded backfield. If Hyde is going to have fantasy value it will need to be as a goal-line back, which we haven’t seen too much of, but there’s certainly an opportunity for that role here. Otherwise, he’s not much more than an RB3 option in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.
