Scouting report

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Seattle Seahawks

Carlos Hyde got off to an okay start last week, mainly thanks, to of all things, his receiving ability. He had 77 total yards on 15 touches: 9 carries for 45 yards and 6 catches for 32 yards. Hyde played just once against the Seahawks last season, managing only 9 yards on 6 carries. That doesn't bode well. But the 49ers are going to have to try to run the ball and dump the ball off quickly. Hyde should get enough touches to be a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 back.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Carolina Panthers

Carlos Hyde averaged a healthy 4.6 yards per carry last season and scored 9 touchdowns. He's been solid, when healthy. He's healthy now and should find some running room against the Panthers, who were middle of the pack against the run last season. Seven of the eight touchdowns Carolina allowed to running backs last season came in road games, making Hyde a nice low-end No. 1, high-end No. 2 running back this week.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Carlos Hyde came up just 12 yards short of 1,000 yards last season and also scored 9 touchdowns—6 rushing, 3 receiving.

Fantasy Downside

Hyde fumbled five times in 244 touches, which is too many. He's also missed 14 games in three seasons, which is why the 49ers brought in challengers for him this season. Early word is he's holding the challengers off, but that might only last until the next injury occurs. The 49ers also don't figure to be playing with many leads to allow him to continue to run the ball.

2017 Bottom Line

The injuries are a concern. The fumbles are a concern. You'll never know if he can hold onto the job. But he has it right now. And while you can certainly do better than Hyde as your No. 2 back, he's not a bad No. 3. His current ADP, however, is in the fourth or fifth round, which is probably a little high for what you should be looking to get out of him. Don't pull the trigger until you've filled out your other starting spots.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Los Angeles
Hyde managed just 13 carries last week, as the 49ers fell behind against the Falcons. He did pick up 73 yards and one catch for six yards, but it wasn't a stellar effort. Back in Week 1, Hyde had one of his more productive games of the season, rushing for 88 yards and two scores in a win over the Rams. He should produce enough to be useful as a No. 2 back this week in what figures to be a game won in the trenches.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Atlanta
The only thing that kept Hyde's 17-carry, 193-yard rushing effort against the Jets last week off the radar was Le'Veon Bell's monster day. And the fact the 49ers lost. Hyde also caught a 7-yard pass for a TD for a little icing on top of the cake. Atlanta's rush defense might be easier for Hyde to crack than the 49ers' passing game against the Falcons' pass D. They've given up 11 rushing TDs this week. With 20 touches, Hyde is a good bet to get into the end zone. He's a solid No. 2 option with No. 1 upside.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Jets
Hyde got 20 carries for 92 yards and added one catch for six yards, which actually isn't a bad day considering how badly the 49ers passing game performed. Hyde is going to be a high-volume worker with 20 or so touches per game. The Jets have gotten easier to run ball against as the season has worn on and Hyde should gain some traction. He's a RB2 given his workload, regardless of the quarterback situation.

SF RB Carlos Hyde - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Chicago
Hyde had just 13 carries for 65 yards last week, but he did catch five passes for 30 yards and a score. He's been a bigger part of the passing game the past two weeks, which is promising. Chicago's run defense has been very solid this season, but has given up eight rushing touchdowns to running backs. Hyde's usage suggests playing him as a No. 2 running back and hoping his recent usage in the passing game is a continuing trend.
