Your Week 1 NFL rushing leader? That's Carlos Hyde.
Hyde's 168-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Minnesota Vikings has earned him a nomination for the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week. The San Francisco 49ers second-year running back also caught two passes for 14 yards to go with his 26 carries.
“He ran great," Colin Kaepernick said postgame. "He ran aggressive. That’s what we need out of him. He came out and performed well. Our offensive line and our tight ends did a great job. Our receivers got in there and helped create some holes too.
