In the “life isn’t fair” category, we present Kendall Hunter. Not much was expected of the 5’7, 199 pound rookie 4th round pick last season but he had a productive season, gaining 473 rushing yards and 195 receiving yards on 16 receptions while scoring twice. At season’s end, it appeared that Hunter had carved out a role as a 8-10 touches per game backup to Frank Gore. Then the offseason hit. Bam! The 49ers signed Brandon Jacobs. Bam! The 49ers shocked the football world by using a 2nd round pick on LaMichael James, essentially a Hunter clone. Whereas Hunter once appeared on the verge of being a must have handcuff to Gore and a potentially solid flex option, his fantasy value is now almost worthless, even in dynasty leagues.

Hunter expected to be ready for camp -- Fri Mar 29 11:00 pm --
 49ers RB recovering from Achilles injury | Four months after he sustained a torn Achilles, Kendall Hunter has resumed running and will be back for the start of training camp, a source close to the 49ers running back said today. (San Francisco Chronicle)
FF Today's Take: Hunter was averaging 5.2 yards per carry before his injury in late November and should regain his place on the depth chart behind Frank Gore provided his recovery progresses as planned.
