Maybe new 49ers general manager John Lynch convinced coach Kyle Shanahan that San Francisco was getting the second coming of Mike Alstott when they decided to make Juszczyk the highest-paid fullback in NFL history (four-year, $20.5 million contract with $10 million guaranteed). Juszczyk and Alstott have logged almost the same number of touches through two games �� and the latter retired a decade ago. Juszczyk has one carry and two receptions even with quarterback Brian Hoyer desperately needing weapons to lift an offense that hasn’t scored a touchdown this season.

The 49ers will inevitably give Juszczyk more opportunities. But it’s hard to blame Shanahan for riding with Carlos Hyde, who is coming off a 124-yard rushing performance against Seattle’s fiery defense.
