Carlos Hyde Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

The Jaguars released RB Carlos Hyde. This move was a lock with HC Urban Meyer no longer in Jacksonville. The 31-year-old Hyde mustered just 3.5 yards per carry on 72 attempts last year. He's a long shot to emerge as a significant contributor in 2022.

5:24pm EST 12/21/21

Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde (concussion) has been placed on IR, ending his season. RB James Robinson racked up 18 carries and 6 targets with Hyde out last week and should be a workhorse the rest of the way.

Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. Between his absence and the departure of clownshow Urban Meyer, James Robinson is back in play as a RB2 with upside.

Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde is in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday. He's been eating into RB James Robinson's workload lately, so Hyde' absence vs. the Texans on Sunday would be a small boost to Robinson's fantasy stock.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel, knee) "plans to try to play" vs. the Rams today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "He has been hobbled for weeks now, but was feeling better Saturday," Schefter adds. Robinson has been dealing with the heel and knee injuries since mid-November, but it sounds like he's in worse shape this week. Consider him just a low-end RB2 for Week 13. And if you're planning to use him, it'd make sense to have RB Carlos Hyde rostered in case Robinson ends up inactive.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel) a "true game-time decision" for today's meeting with the Colts. "Playing likely won’t make it worse, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll go," Rapoport adds. We'll get Jacksonville's inactives around 11:30 am ET. Robinson will come with elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he's active. If not, Carlos Hyde will get another game as lead back.

Jaguars HC Urban Meyer says he expects RB James Robinson to return from his heel injury for the Week 10 game at Indianapolis, according to SI.com's John Shipley. We'll watch this week to confirm. Carlos Hyde carried 21 times in Sunday's win vs. Buffalo, with Robinson out, gaining just 67 yards (3.2 per rush). He added 1 catch for 6 yards on 2 targets.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel) is inactive for today’s game against the Bills. That leaves Carlos Hyde as Jacksonville’s lead back. The matchup is brutal, but Hyde should get 15+ touches, making him a viable RB3 or flex.

The Jaguars "don't sound optimistic" about RB James Robinson's chances of playing vs. the Bills today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Robinson got in just a limited practice on Friday with his heel injury. "But they want to test him in pre-game warmups before making any decisions," Schefter adds. We'll get Robinson's game status around 11:30 am ET. Carlos Hyde will operate as Jacksonville's lead back if Robinson is out.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but evidently has a chance to play on Sunday. We'll look for an update on Robinson that morning and will get Jacksonville's inactives around 11:30 am ET. Carlos Hyde will operate as the Jaguars' lead back if Robinson is out.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. It looks like he'll miss this weekend's game vs. the Bills, leaving Carlos Hyde as Jacksonville's lead back. It's a brutal matchup, but Hyde checks in as a volume-based RB3 or flex play.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel) didn't practice on Wednesday. He reportedly avoided a serious injury but is at least in danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Bills. That'd leave RB Carlos Hyde in a feature role -- albeit in a brutal matchup.

Jaguars RB James Robinson "escaped serious injury" and is considered "day to day" with a foot injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Robinson's status for Sunday's game vs. the Bills is "in question," per Schefter, but it at least sounds like he avoided a long-term injury. We'll monitor his practice participation this week. Carlos Hyde will operate as Jacksonville's lead back if Robinson misses time.

Jaguars RB James Robinson suffered an ankle injury in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. Seattle and is officially questionable to return. We'll pass along an update when we get one. RB Carlos Hyde is Robinson's backup.

Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans after missing Week 4. Hyde isn’t a fantasy option but figures to steal a few touches from RB James Robinson.

Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde (shoulder) put in a full practice on Wednesday. He was a late scratch for last Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals after showing up to the stadium with shoulder pain. But Hyde is on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. That puts a slight dent in RB James Robinson's outlook.

7:09pm EDT 9/30/21

Jaguars RB Carlos Hyde is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Bengals. It's a surprise considering Hyde played 31% of Jacksonville's offensive snaps and totaled 19 carries and 4 targets over the first 3 games. Dare Ogunbowale will serve as the Jaguars' #2 RB tonight, but RB James Robinson should be in for an expanded role.

Update: ESPN's Michael DiRocco reports that Hyde's shoulder "didn't feel right" when he got to the stadium.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Jaguars RB Travis Etienne will have surgery to repair a Lisfranc tear in his left foot and "likely" miss the entire season. That obviously delivers a big boost to James Robinson, who had been coming off the board well into RB3 range. It also brings Carlos Hyde into late-round view in fantasy football drafts. Robinson now looks like a RB2 with RB1 upside -- which he showed last year -- for fantasy.

Update: The Jaguars have put Etienne on IR, officially ending his season. A player must be on the 53-man roster as of 4 p.m. on Aug. 31 to be eligible for short-term IR.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Jaguars RB Travis Etienne suffered a mid-foot sprain in his left foot Monday night and is "out indefinitely." ESPN's Stephania Bell adds that recovery time for the injury can vary widely, so there's more to learn about the specifics of Etienne's situation. For now, the rookie should drop into the double-digit rounds of fantasy football drafts. James Robinson, meanwhile, becomes a solid-to-good RB3 with upside well into RB2 range. We'll see how much his ADP spikes this week. Carlos Hyde also becomes a late-draft consideration.
