  49ers | Carlos Hyde's season over    Sat Dec 12, 05:31 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde (foot) was placed on Injured Reserve Saturday, Dec. 12. TE Brian Leonhardt was promoted to the active roster.

Footballguys view: Finally. The 49ers waited for a long time before shutting Hyde down for the season. He never matched the 168 yard performance from Week 1 against the Vikings, but Hyde was a solid starter for the 49ers when he was on the field. He'll have plenty of time to heal and should be ready to go by the time OTAs start in 2016.

  Patriots | Several players work out    Tue Sep 29, 05:28 PM

Free-agents RB Montee Ball (Broncos), TEs Brandon Bostick (Vikings) and Brian Leonhardt (Raiders), QB Zac Dysert (Texans), RB Darrin Reaves (Panthers) and TE Konrad Reuland (Ravens) worked out for the New England Patriots Tuesday, Sept. 29, according to a source.

Footballguys view: The Patriots are likely just updating their emergency list here. It's interesting to see Montee Ball get a look from the Patriots. Ball failed in Denver, but it's been a bit surprising to see him out of work for a few weeks. Perhaps some team is going to add him in the near future.

  Raiders | Sign exclusive rights free agents    Wed Apr 8, 05:19 PM

Oakland Raiders DE Denico Autry, TE Brian Leonhardt, OT Matt McCants, RB Jamize Olawale and DB Neiko Thorpe were all signed as exclusive rights free agents Wednesday, April 8.

Footballguys view: Leonhardt is a player we'd like to highlight here for fantasy owners in super deep dynasty leagues. He was signed by the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2013 after playing college football at Bemidji State. Olawale was a converted wide receiver and fullback who the Raiders signed off the Cowboys practice squad in 2012. The former North Texas standout is only a fullback and special teams player with little (almost non-existent) fantasy value.

The Oakland Raiders have declared TE Brian Leonhardt, WR Denarius Moore, QB Matt McGloin, OT Menelik Watson, LB Sio Moore, DL Stacy McGee, OG Tony Bergstrom inactive for Week 15.

Footballguys view: Moore is one of the Raiders better pass rushers and all-around players, so Jamaal Charles and Alex Smith should have an easier time of it today.
