Carlos Hyde placed on IR

Dec 12, 2015

Carlos Hyde's season started with great promise. It ends on injured reserve.

The San Francisco 49ers announced Saturday that Hyde has been moved to IR with a foot injury. In a corresponding move, the 49ers signed tight end Brian Leonhardt from the practice squad.

Hyde ran for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the Monday night opener against the Vikings, giving hope to a breakout season for the former second-round pick. But that would be the only time Hyde would surpass 100 yards rushing this season. He suffered stress fracture in his foot in a Week 7 loss to the Seahawks and never got back onto the field.

Fantasy Impact:

This news doesn't really come as a surprise for owners. Hyde finishes his second pro season with 470 yards on 115 carries (4.1 YPC) and three touchdowns. Shaun Draughn and Travaris Cadet should continue to see most of the work with Hyde out.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
