| San Francisco 49ers RBs Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James may compete for playing time during training camp. Both could see time as the third-down running back. |
| Fantasy Impact: Hunter played well at times last year so don't count him out to win this job although James is a very talented back. |

| San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday, Feb. 23, that RB Kendall Hunter is likely to see a bigger role going forward. 'You saw a lot of Kendall Hunter last year. Don't think there would be any reason not to. He did a fabulous job for us in two phases - offensive and in the area of special teams,' Harbaugh said. 'And he just works so darn hard at it. And he likes football so much and he's willing to spend extra classroom time.' |
| Fantasy Impact: Hunter seems to have a bright future. He could be the starter in another year or two with Frank Gore nearing the end. |

|
| San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday, Sept. 26, that RB Kendall Hunter is ready for a bigger role in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles, especially if RB Frank Gore (ankle) is unavailable. 'All of our guys, we have confidence in all our players to step up and fill the role that they are called on to do,' Harbaugh said. 'That's part of soldiering up and being a great teammate. Yeah, I think he is.' |
| Fantasy Impact: Hunter is worth a flier, especially if Gore is out. He has some upside and has looked better than Gore of late. |

| San Francisco 49ers RB Kendall Hunter is currently the third running back on the depth chart but is competing with RB Anthony Dixon for the No. 2 running back job. |
| Fantasy Impact: Hunter has played well, though, and has a shot to unseat Dixon as the top backup at some point in the near future. |
