Unfortunately, it’s early enough in the season for his ranking to suffer.

It wasn’t a fun week for Hyde or the San Francisco 49ers.
Considering Hyde still leads the NFL in rushing yards, his spot is safe on this list. Week 2 was poor, but Week 1 was unforgettable under the bright lights of Monday Night Football.
Hyde will need to bounce back against the 2-0 Arizona Cardinals during Week 3.
