Frank Gore, Carlos Hyde's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 4

Sean ODonnellSep 28, 2014

San Francisco 49ers running backs Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde continued to be integral parts of the team's offense on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. While Gore received the bulk of the work, both ball-carriers allowed for a well-balanced offensive attack.

Here's a look at their stat lines on the day:

Gore put up some major fantasy points early in the game—albeit, in unexpected fashion. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick rolled out of a collapsing pocket with the entire Philadelphia defense in pursuit, only to throw back across the entire field into the waiting arms of a wide-open Gore.   

After a nice stiff arm and 55-yard scamper down the sideline, Gore completed the longest touchdown reception of his career, via ESPN Stats & Info:

Gore added 24 carries for 119 yards to his numbers, making his fantasy owners very happy in the process. Despite a 10-year NFL career that has produced over 2,200 carries, the veteran still shows no signs of slowing down. Consider him a solid RB1 going forward this season.

Hyde is the heir apparent to Gore, and while he's flashed his impressive skill set at times, head coach Jim Harbaugh doesn't appear ready to give him a big enough workload to warrant a start in any fantasy formats.

Still, Hyde has great value as a handcuff to Gore and is most certainly deserving of a roster spot.
