2020 Rush/Rec Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
After going undrafted out of Washington, Ahmed shrewdly signed with the 49ers, perhaps the best possible spot for an overlooked running back to make an impact. While he showed plenty of speed and elusiveness in college, Ahmed's lack of power, vision and indecisiveness when hitting the hole kept him from being a consistent producer. He did show solid receiving skills, but he'll need to significantly improve his effort level in pass protection if he wants to see significant work on passing downs in the NFL. Ahmed is something of a project, but in a Kyle Shanahan offense that always seems to find ways to get its backs the ball in space, his strengths could be accentuated and his flaws minimzed. The depth chart remains loaded even after Matt Breida's departure, but as Raheem Mostert showed last year, backs who put in the work and flash when they get a chance are rewarded in San Francisco.

RANKS

Caps rookie season with TD
Ahmed had six carries for 29 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's blowout 56-26 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Ahmed split Miami's backfield work fairly evenly with Myles Gaskin during the Week 17 loss, and the backs managed to score despite both being held under 30 rushing yards. Through six appearances with the Dolphins in 2020, the undrafted rookie compiled 319 yards and three touchdowns on 75 carries (4.3 YPC). Ahmed also secured 11 of 14 targets for 61 yards. He remains under contract with Miami through 2021, so barring any offseason pickups he could begin next season as the No. 2 option behind Gaskin.

James Conner didn't put up big numbers, but his role the past two weeks hints at some upside for the playoffs.

There's a good chance that you'll see Travis Kelce out of uniform this week, though he won't be hanging out with George Kittle as he was here in this picture.

He may have opened Saturday's game in a timeshare with Salvon Ahmed, but the Miami backfield belonged to Myles Gaskin by the end of the night.

A limited three-game slate will put a premium on reliable fantasy points, which is why RotoWire's Andrew Laird is expecting Kyler Murray to be very popular on DraftKings and FanDuel.
