| 49ers | Carlos Hyde must earning starting job |
Tue, 11 Jul 2017 12:32:14 -0700
San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde will need to earn his starting job over rookie RB Joe Williams, according to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. Maiocco envisions a committee approach with RB Tim Hightower also being involved.
Fantasy Tip: Williams does have some upside heading into his first year, but Hyde will start as long as he is in good health. Committees obviously hurt fantasy value, but Hyde remains a low-end RB1 to high-end RB2 candidate.

| 49ers | Tim Hightower set to join San Francisco |
Sat, 01 Apr 2017 09:34:11 -0700
Free-agent RB Tim Hightower (Saints) agreed to terms on an undisclosed contract with the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, April 1.
Fantasy Tip: Although the 30-year-old Hightower (31 in May) doesn't have much explosion left at his age and given his past knee injuries, he's still a capable reserve who has a decent shot at beating out DuJuan Harris, Mike Davis and Raheem Mostert for the backup job behind oft-injured Carlos Hyde. With this landing spot, Hightower is well-positioned to be a solid handcuff choice for owners late in drafts this summer.

Wed, 22 Mar 2017 11:07:43 -0700
Free-agent RB Tim Hightower (Saints) is still an option for the New Orleans Saints this offseason, according to a source.
Fantasy Tip: Hightower likely will have the same role he had in 2016 if he returns to the Saints. He posted 548 rushing yards and four touchdowns this past season. He can be considered a No. 4 fantasy running back if he signs with the Saints.

| 49ers | Tim Hightower, San Fran expected to meet |
Wed, 15 Mar 2017 19:28:24 -0700
Unrestricted free-agent RB Tim Hightower (Saints) is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, March 16, according to a source.
Fantasy Tip: Hightower proved to be a serviceable back for the New Orleans Saints in his age-30 season in 2016, although he did more to anger Mark Ingram owners than he did on a consistent basis in fantasy. If he lands with the Niners, he would be the heavy favorite to be the direct backup to oft-injured Carlos Hyde.
