The punt returning could be electric. The RB situation is more about health. Carlos Hyde is a potential stud and Reggie Bush gives the pass catching out of the backfield. Haynes will play there in mop up duty or due to injury. It's always best to remember that the most important job a RB has is pass protection.
Gore was the best in the league and one of the main reasons the coaches never wanted him off the field. Haynes has not seen any exotic blitz packages in a game before. The coaches won't want to risk Kaepernick's health just to see what Hayne can do.
If Hayne gets in a RB w/o any other RB injuries, he will be on a run play or a quick pass play/screen. He also won't stay on the field for many consecutive plays.
