“I think he certainly has the skillset to be an outstanding running back at this level, because he can do everything,†said head coach Chip Kelly. “You’re looking for a guy who can be a three down back, and that’s certainly what Carlos is." With not much else in the way of competition behind him, Hyde should be featured often in this run-oriented offense. The only issue for him is health, something he hasn't been able to sustain over a full season since entering the league. He makes for a somewhat risky RB2 in fantasy formats with upside to turn into a volume RB1.
