Nerdy Football Analysis: Sprained AC joints tend to lead to multi-week absences, so it is likely San Francisco’s Week 8 bye didn’t give him enough time to heal. OC Curtis Modkins stated earlier in the week that he felt DuJuan Harris “earned more opportunities” after posting 57 total yards on 13 touches in Week 7, so he should be the target for desperate Hyde owners looking for a handcuff. Mike Davis and Shaun Draughn will also steal snaps if Hyde misses this week, making all three backs low-end options at best.
