The 49ers will use some combination of Draughn, Kendall Gaskins and Pierre Thomas at running back in Sunday's game against the Falcons, CSN Bay Area reports.
The 49ers haven't provided any indication as to which player might start, but Gaskins may have the upper hand because of his time spent in the organization. Draughn and Thomas obviously have more experience, but both players were just recently signed to replace Carlos Hyde (foot) and Mike Davis (hand). Draughn probably has the lowest ceiling of the bunch, as Thomas is the favorite for passing-down work and Gaskins is the favorite to receive goal-line carries.
