Ke'Shawn Vaughn rushed two times for four yards in the 49ers' 38-13 win over the Bears in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Vaughn made a minimal impact in his first game action of the season, averaging 2.0 yards per carry while finishing last on the team in carries Sunday. The running back could be in line for an increased role out of the backfield with Isaac Guerendo (foot) potentially missing time, with a Week 15 divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams up next.

Amidst injuries to Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason, the San Francisco 49ers have bolstered their backfield by signing Ke'Shawn Vaughn to their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Vaughn's signing provides depth at a critical time for the 49ers. Although currently behind other backs, his experience with the Buccaneers might earn him a chance at elevation. Fantasy managers should view him as a deep league stash, with potential value if he steps into a more significant role due to further injuries or as a change-of-pace back.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn rushed for 12 yards on two carries in the 49ers’ 16-10 win over the Saints. He caught his lone target for five yards.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed free agent RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn.

Fantasy Impact

Vaughn spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who drafted him in the third round (No. 76). In 43 games, he totaled 384 rushing yards (3.7 yards per carry) and just 81 receiving yards. While RB Christian McCaffrey is dealing with a calf injury and RBs Elijah Mitchell and Isaac Guerendo nurse their own injuries, the Niners are strengthening their depth with Vaughn and recent free agent signing — and former 49ers RB — Matt Breida.

The Patriots signed RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn to their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Vaughn, a former third-round pick, was waived by the Buccaneers last week. He will add depth to the running back room for New England.
