Chip Kelly said it would be a stretch for Carlos Hyde to play Sunday.

I guess if you need a fill in grab Mike Davis

Draughn is the backup. Davis came into the game last week due to the game being out of reach. They'll split carries this week so stay away.

That makes no sense and Chip Kelly just spoke about this.
He looked good in the preseason but hasn't fared well with the very limited action he's seen so far this season.

what?

So the 49ers went to the backup's backup because they foresaw ahead that Hyde would be injured in a blowout loss last week?

Yes the game was all but over and the Bills had their backups in as well. I watched the majority of that game. Chip put in his backups in after the game was out of reach and no reason to use Draughn and risk injury after seeing Hyde was already injured himself.

I'm starting him. Only because J Stew is on bye and that stupid hamster decided to have a setback during a bye week. My options are Ryan Mathews, Mike Davis and Kenneth Dixon. Why can't Terrance West get hurt already or have a bad game? Why can't Pederson stick with only one or mayybee two RBS?? I hate you fantasy football.

Come on Gyno

That's not a fair assessment. Davis has only 10 carries. Most other backups have way more carries.

Look, I don't expect this guy to blow up, I'm throwing out possible starters since some people missed the boat on Jacquizz this week.

He has 45 career carries for a 1.7 average. Even Hyde cant muster 4+ ypc for that team.

It's not a totally fair assessment, I just wanted to illustrate that point.

And I hate to say it, but Zimm is partially right. I watched that game as well, I wouldn't take those snap splits as gospel. Draughn is a pass catcher, I think the main value for now lies there in PPR

Well what do you think about Zack Zenner if Washington and Riddick don`t play?

I read all of his 50 something yards were after contact and the coaches loved that stat.

FWIW, Washington practiced today. Limited, but practiced.
