Whereas Sankey saw a lot of early hype and has cooled off, one of the best run-blocking offensive lines in the league. In fact, other than a resurgent 2012 where he amassed a 12.00 Rushing NEP, Gore hasn't had a positive Rushing NEP since his rookie season in 2005.

For years, fantasy owners have worried that this might be the year that Gore breaks down. Considering how impressive Hyde has been and how frequently the 49ers run the ball - they had the third-most rushing attempts of any team in the NFL last season at 505 - the Niners rookie should have value whether or not this is the year that Gore hits the preverbal wall. But if this is the year, Hyde has championship-caliber upside.
