On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers placed RB Carlos Hyde on injured reserve, officially ending his season.
For much of the season, Hyde has been trying to recover from a stress fracture in his left foot. He had not played since the 49ers' October 22 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium.
RB Shaun Draughn has been filling in as the team's starting running back and has performed admirably.
Prior to the injury this season, Hyde had 470 yards on 115 carries, three touchdowns and averaged over four yards per carry. He also had 53 yards on 11 receptions. Although, 40 of those yards came during that Thursday night game against the Seahawks, after the injury had already been revealed.

Rankings don't typically mean much during the offseason. They are usually just a fun way to pass the time and create some healthy debate among sports fanbases.
ESPN's latest one probably isn't much different. However, it isn't based merely on opinion and projections. It is based on the massive amount of data produced by the analytics giant, Pro Football Focus. The two join forces to rank the NFL's best rosters.

Mike Florio 'blown away' by this comment from 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan

The San Francisco 49ers have a not-so-simple goal for the 2020 season: Get back to the Super Bowl and emerge as champions. I label it as "not-so-simple" because doing so will be a very difficult task, and head coach Kyle Shanahan knows that.
But it's Super Bowl or bust for the 49ers, as was the case in the team's heyday.
Shanahan made a rather innocent comment this week during the conversation with Greg Papa after being asked to describe the state of the franchise.
"I know we were good enough to win that Super Bowl, and we didn't," Shanahan responded. "And that's something we've got to live with. And that's why the state of the franchise, right
