The San Francisco 49ers jumped out to a lead against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night behind a strong rushing attack. That was excellent news for fantasy football owners who were relying on Carlos Hyde in the season’s opening week.
It wasn’t all good for the running back group, though, because Reggie Bush went down with a calf injury and missed the rest of the game, per Dennis O’Donnell of KPIX-TV in San Francisco. That opened the door for former Australian rugby player Jarryd Hayne and provided more opportunities for Hyde.
