Frank Gore, Carlos Hyde's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 13

Frank Gore has put together one of the most up-and-down fantasy seasons of any running back. On Thanksgiving night against the Seattle Seahawks, he was stymied by the division rivals yet again.

Sharing carries with Gore again was Carlos Hyde, who posted limited points for desperate teams. With the fantasy playoffs coming up next week, both have a good matchup to help fantasy owners.

Player	Frank Gore	Carlos Hyde
Carries	10	5
Rush Yds	28	19
Rec.	1	3
Targets	2	3
Rec. Yds	8	38
Fantasy Points	3.6	5.7

Gore was unable to get going against the Seahawks, along with the rest of the entire offense. Seattle has a history of limiting Gore, but owners in need of a decent outing weren't helped at all by the veteran.

Along with Gore, Hyde didn't have much success on the ground, but he earned some chunk yardage in the passing game. Nathan Jahnke of Pro Football Focus points out the snaps for each player in the first half: 

Moving forward, Gore has a great opportunity to exploit a porous Oakland Raiders defense. Oakland has allowed the fourth-most points to running backs with 22.84 per game. Gore owners have a right to be worried, but he can help carry fantasy teams in the first playoff matchup.

At this point in the season, it's clear that Hyde's value is typically determined by his goal-line carries. Facing a Raiders defense that has allowed 13 total touchdowns to tailbacks this season, Hyde has flex appeal in deep leagues but nothing more.
