In the past 2 weeks he has 2 catches for 27 yards. They're using him a lot more as a RB recently than a WR.

Just because he has 2 catches the last two weeks does not mean he is being used as a RB more than a WR. He's ran 47 snaps and has had 14 rushes the last two weeks. He's just not getting many targets but that does not mean he is being used more as a RB. He's just an all world runner with the ball in his hands and is a natural in the backfield where he is averaging over 10 YPC. You get him the ball anyway you can period.

DK Metcalf has 8 catches over the past 3 weeks and no receiving touchdowns or any touchdowns at all for that matter 

Does that mean he's not a WR or nah 

nah it means he plays on a ****ty team.

Sucks for SF, especially because these kind of injuries can linger.     1-2 weeks seems very optimistic, and there's a high risk of re-injury for ROS.

Fantasy-wise, this means Brandon Aiyuk plays the X position now, and Eli Mitchell takes over the rest of the RB work (with Jerry Wilson spelling him more).  The 49ers are deep enough to manage this, they'll target George Kittle & Aiyuk more now to offset the loss - lose another key guy, though, and it gets stickier.
