SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #92   
Overall: #421


Dixon got more work late in his rookie season after Frank Gore was injured, but he still lost out on touches to Brian Westbrook, which was a little discouraging. Dixon had double-digit carries three of the last six games and had 50-plus rushing yard in two of those games. Dixon finished the season with 237-rushing yards. The 49ers don't seem too sold on him, though, as they brought in Kendall Hunter to compete with him for the top backup job. Dixon is a big back that isn't brought down easy and does a good job of moving the pile. He could be the finisher in the 49ers offense, having a different running style than Gore. Dixon doesn't have much speed, though, and won't make many plays on the outside.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Dixon is worth a late-round flier because of Gore's injury history but only if he wins the backup job, which isn't a lock. Dixon could get about 400 or 500 total yard and a few scores if he has a similar role in the offense to last season.
San Francisco 49ers RB Kendall Hunter had 11 carries for 27 yards in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals, and RB Anthony Dixon added 32 yards on seven runs. Davis also managed a 15-yard reception.

San Francisco 49ers backup RBs Kendall Hunter and Anthony Dixon are expected to see playing time in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles with RB Frank Gore (ankle) uncertain. Even if Gore is able to play, it is believed Hunter will see as much playing time as the veteran.

San Francisco 49ers RB Anthony Dixon told the Mississippi State student newspaper that he is at 250 pounds at this point and expected to spend some time at fullback this season. Dixon said he wants to be versatile enough to used as a tailback or a fullback.
Fantasy Impact: At that weight, he won't be a huge asset as a runner, but should get plenty of chances to block.

San Francisco 49ers RB Anthony Dixon said he would like to become more of an all-around running back and not just a power back. 'I'm focused on being an all-around running back,' Dixon said. 'I want to be able to run inside. Outside. Catch screens. Run routes. Pass protect. Downfield blocking.'

San Francisco 49ers RBs Anthony Dixon and Kendall Hunter may compete for the primary backup running back job during training camp.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has made it clear that RB Anthony Dixon is the primary backup to RB Frank Gore, reports Matt Maiocco, of CSNBayArea.com.
Fantasy Impact: He played alright given the chance, so it makes sense for him to be the top backup his second year in the league.

San Francisco 49ers RB Anthony Dixon should continue to prove that he is capable of taking a larger role in the offense, reports Matt Maiocco, of CSNBayArea.com. The team is not expected to retain RB Brian Westbrook.
Fantasy Impact: He should be the top backup to Frank Gore next season.
