Kendrick Bourne (WR, SF) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: I think it'd take me less time to list San Francisco's available pass-catchers rather than those injured. That's where we're at with the 49ers, folks. Luckily for one out of 10 fantasy GMs, they have one of the still-warm bodies playing football in San Francisco. Luckily for the other nine, they will most probably find Kendrick Bourne available for free in their league's WW.

See, Bourne is far from a league winner, and San Francisco will also be without starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo for six weeks, or virtually ROS. Bourne has been playing a fair amount of snaps through the season, though, with an average 71% snap share and getting more than 4 targets per game. In fact, he's been targeted 4+ times in all but two games this season, and his PPR average in those six games comes out at 10.0 PPG.

With some players getting out of the field through last Sunday's game, Bourne was targeted a season-high 10 times, caught 8 of those passes, and finished with another season-high in receiving yards at 81. All in all, he was able to bag 16.1 PPR points and led all 49ers skill-position players except Brandon Aiyuk (23.1) in fantasy scoring.

That is precisely how the receiving corps of San Francisco will look going forward. It's Aiyuk as the no. 1, Bourne as the no. 2, and then a pile of scraps. Bourne should be considered a weekly FLEX play at least with upside for WR2 performances. Must-add in any 14+ Team league, and also a player to consider by needy GMs in shallower/12+ Team formats.
