San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said he believes in using multiple running backs that can do different things on offense. "I'm a big believer -- we are big believers -- in a three-headed approach," Baalke said. "In other words, having a group of backs that bring to the table something a little bit different than the other one so you can do a lot of different things. But also having those backs be able to do enough things the same so you don't become so predictable on game day." RBs Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James likely will see playing time this season.
Fantasy Tip: All three running backs likely will receive playing time this season and could have fantasy value during the season. Gore likely will receive the majority of the carries and should be seen as a mid to weak No. 2 running back option. James and Hunter could be late-round fliers in drafts because of their expected roles on offense.

Although San Francisco 49ers RB LaMichael James appears closer to seeing game action, RB Frank Gore said James still has some learning to do. Gore is doing what he can to get James up to speed, particularly learning how to play with a slower pace. Gore said James runs at full-tilt all the time. "In college, there's a big space. But not here. He has a tough time with that," Gore said. "I told him, 'It's not how fast you are. It's about patience and how fast you can get through it.' I told him that he had to let things develop."

With backup RB Kendall Hunter (Achilles') out for the season, the team turned to RB Brandon Jacobs in Week 13, but he chipped in with four carries for six yards.
