Colin Kaepernick

Carlos Hyde passes concussion test

Carlos Hyde was examined for a concussion late in the San Francisco 49ers' eventual 43-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

And while he passed the test, he was not put back into the game.

“That was my call,” 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said.

The game was out of hand by the time Hyde went into the locker room for the evaluation.

“I got hit on the crown of my helmet, so I was dizzy when I got up,” said Hyde, who finished with 43 yards on 14 carries (he also lost a fumble on an exchange in the shotgun with quarterback Colin Kaepernick) a week after his Monday Night Football star turn with 168 yards rushing.

“I felt better when I got to the sideline. The concussion test, I passed that and I was ready to go but they pulled me.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Hyde took a beating all game long, because even before Steelers safety Mike Mitchell caught him with the helmet shot, he sent Hyde to the sidelines in the first half with a leg tackle. Since Hyde passed the test and it seems as though it was a coach's decision to keep him out, perhaps we can assume his Week 3 outlook is OK at this time. The 49ers play at Arizona in Week 3.

The San Francisco 49ers open the preseason at 8 p.m. ET Saturday vs. the Houston Texans at NRG Field. Here’s a couple things to watch for during the game:

Why watch: The (choose your adjective) rebuilt/retooled/reloaded 49ers get to hit someone besides themselves for the first time. It’s also the first time we’ll see quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s new throwing motion, though he might play only one or two series behind a new and thus far leaky offensive line that will face the Texans' monstrous defensive front.

49ers QB Colin Kaepernick displays nice touch on a 'variety of different throws'

49ers QB Colin Kaepernick appeared to show his most progress with touch on his passes throughout the day. And he finished strong with his final throw resulting in a 21-yard touchdown to Vernon Davis along the back line of the end zone between the tight coverage of cornerback Tramaine Brock and safety Craig Dahl.

During a 7-on-7 drill, Kaepernick displayed a variety of different throws. He lofted soft passes to running back Reggie Bush and rookie tight end Blake Bell for scores. And he drilled a throw to Anquan Boldin between the coverage of Shayne Skov and Corey Lemonier.

Fantasy Impact: 

It was reported earlier in the offseason that the team planned to utilize Kaepernick’s running ability to a greater degree. Kaepernick ran the ball 12 more times in 2014 than he did in 2013 for an additional 115 yards, so it's not like he abandoned the scramble. It sounds like it's more about utilizing the read-option as a larger part of the offense. If that's the case, it could be a boon to Kaepernick's fantasy value. He was the #14 QB in 2014 after finishing #9 the season before, though his overall production only dipped by 11 fantasy points. He's a bounceback candidate provided new OC Geep Chryst can design an offense that can move the ball. Chryst previously served as the OC for the Chargers in 1999 and 2000, but his offenses ranked 26th and 28th overall in that span. Any gains that Kaepernick can make as a thrower (due to his offseason work with QB coach Dennis Gile and former Rams/Cardinals QB Kurt Warner) will only help his overall value.

Vernon Davis

49ers TE Vernon Davis showing off his 'trademark wheels' in camp

Offensively, Vernon Davis had a busy day to say the very least. When he wasn't connecting on crossing routes with Colin Kaepernick in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods, the most tenured player on the roster displayed his trademark wheels in the middle of practice.

Undrafted rookie quarterback Dylan Thompson placed a perfect pass down the right seam where only Davis could make a play on the ball. The 49ers tight end ran past inside linebacker Shayne Skov to catch a 40-yard touchdown pass in impressive fashion.

Not only was Thompson's lofted throw placed right into Davis' waiting arms, but it was a great sign of the tight end's ability to get behind the defense in what will be his 10th season with the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: 

Davis is a bounceback candidate now that he's playing for a new offensive coordinator who may better utilize his skillset. He's a talent, but the team didn't do a good job of using him last season. His 50 targets were his fewest since 2008, and his usage was way too low considering he has finished in the top 8 at his position in four of the last six seasons. He was targeted just once in the red zone after seeing 20 red zone targets in 2013. It's up to new OC Geep Chryst (formerly the team's QB coach) to get Davis more involved in the offense. Davis has reportedly looked fast in offseason activities. Given his 15th-round ADP, he's a very cheap lottery ticket at the tight end position.
