How Should You Move Forward with Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde in Fantasy Football?
The 49er running backs have been poor producers thus far, but are things about to change?

projections, you will see Gore and Hyde projected to finish in about the same spot they are in now. Gore is ranked one spot higher at 24th (72.07 projected fantasy points), and Hyde is in the exact same position at 56th with 35.88 projected fantasy points.

If San Francisco stops relying on quarterback Colin Kaepernick and going away from the running game (1.20 pass-to-run ratio this year versus 0.90 last year), both Gore and Hyde may be able to improve their numbers. But as it stands, they both seem like their production will stay about what it has been thus far. Gore should continue to be the main guy and produce RB2 or flex numbers, while Hyde should continue to ride your bench or even cut in smaller leagues. His value seems limited and should only be a starter if Gore gets injured and is out for a significant amount of time.
