Sermon did not receive a touch or an offensive snap in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.
Sermon took a back seat to Elijah Mitchell when his fellow rookie returned from injury Week 5, and now he's dropped in the depth chart yet again with the return of JaMycal Hasty (ankle). The 49ers' third-round pick from this year's draft performed well in Mitchell's absence, so his placement in head coach Kyle Shanahan's doghouse doesn't add up. Whatever the case may be, it's clear the team has no intentions on developing Sermon so long as Mitchell is healthy, leaving the back off the fantasy radar heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Bears.
