1. Carlos Hyde is the 49ers’ future at running back
Hyde rushed for 39 yards on five carries as he took advantage of the absence of starting running back Frank Gore. LaMichael James is out with an injury, and Marcus Lattimore still has yet to see the field. Gore is in the final year of his contract, so the 49ers may choose to let him go if Hyde continues to play like he did in his preseason debut.
