NFL Fantasy Football Recap Week 8: San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams

Nov 02, 2015 04:51 PM EST

San Francisco 49ers

Carlos Hyde (Running Back): Hyde has been held out due to a stress fracture in his foot. It is likely this injury will keep him out for the near future however any 49er is currently struggling for fantasy value. With injuries to Mike Davis and Reggie Bush in week 8 it is likely the 49ers will have to re-sign Jarryd Hayne or another free agent running back.

Torrey Smith/Anquan Boldin (Wide Receivers): Boldin has been having more success than Smith as Kaepernick might have more faith in him, but that still does not mean much. Boldin caught 3 of his 7 targets for 39 yards while Smith caught 2 out of 5 targets for 19 yards. The 49ers passing game is to be avoided at all costs.

St. Louis Rams

Todd Gurley (Running Back): Gurley is the best running back in fantasy football now after Bell's season ending injury. Gurley ran the ball 20 times for 133 yards and a touchdown after already surpassing historic rookie records. Gurley is an RB1.

Tavon Austin (Wide Receiver): Austin had a monster game as the Rams gadget receiver. Austin caught 4 out of 7 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown. Austin will continue to be a sporadic WR 3.
