November 29, 2015; Santa Clara, CA, USA; San Francisco 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert (2) hands the football off to running back Shaun Draughn (24) against the Arizona Cardinals during the first quarter at Levi

Week 13 Projection: Standard: 12/PPR: 13. RB. San Francisco 49ers. Shaun Draughn. 4. player. 42

Start ‘Em #2

The ex-Kansas City Chief Shaun Draughn is now the starting running back in San Francisco for the 49ers ever since starter Carlos Hyde went down with an injury a few weeks ago. In Hyde’s absence, Draughn has been good, but he hasn’t been great as of yet.

He continues to monopolize the touches in San Francisco’s backfield, as no other RB carried the ball last Sunday for the 49ers.

I think this might change Week 13 against the reeling Chicago Bears. The Bears defense isn’t very good this year, and I believe that Draughn will be able to get into the double-digits in fantasy points for the first time this season.

The Bears are ranked 16th against opposing running backs thus far this season, and the 49ers have really been playing better as of late, so I don’t think that Draughn will struggle this week.

He continues to monopolize the touches in San Francisco’s backfield, as no other RB carried the ball last Sunday for the 49ers.

Consider him a good #2 RB option for Week 13.
