Ke'Shawn Vaughn’s preseason involvement signals depth at running back behind SF’s lead backs. His role could rise if Prince’s injury lingers, giving him sneaky fantasy upside as an insurance option in the 49ers’ offense, especially if roster depth tightens and more carries are allocated to non-Donte or Jordan Mason.

Vaughn, signed days earlier, steps into a meaningful role as Abdullah’s possible replacement. His background and the quick transition suggest an opportunity to flash as SF’s immediate depth option.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn could see increased playing time as the 49ers face the Dolphins, especially with several key running backs sidelined. His role as a backup option highlights the team's depth issues at the position, forcing them to rely on less experienced players in crucial matchups.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn was activated off the practice squad, likely due to his longer tenure with the team compared to Israel Abanikanda, who has been with the 49ers for only nine days. Despite this activation, neither Vaughn nor Abanikanda is expected to be a fantasy starter, especially with Guerendo appearing healthy for the upcoming match against the Dolphins.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster for the game against the Rams, indicating the team's need for depth in the running back position, especially with Isaac Guerendo recently dealing with a sprained foot.
