Running back

Carlos Hyde

49ers third-year running back Carlos Hyde will get the start on Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

This one is an easy one, Hyde is the workhorse of the 49ers offense and, in his short sample we saw against the Texans, has cemented himself as the starting running back for the 49ers.

Hyde finished with 27 yards on five carries for an average of 5.4 yards per carry.
