Willie Snead IV Elevated To Active Roster
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Willie Snead IV has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Is Chuba Hubbard Playing in Week 8? Should I Pick Up Raheem Blackshear In Fantasy Football?
The Carolina Panthers shocked the league, and probably even themselves, with their dominant performance over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Days after trading their stud running back Christian McCaffrey, the Panthers turned to backups D’Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard to steamroll the Bucs' defense on the ground. Fantasy managers scavenging the waivers collectively […]
Jeff Wilson Jr. Drawing Trade Interest
The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly receiving calls inquiring about the availability of running back Jeff Wilson Jr. The 49ers acquired superstar Christian McCaffrey ahead of Week 7, and with Elijah Mitchell (knee) expected to return within the next few weeks, Wilson is likely to be the odd man out in San Francisco. Wilson has […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and fullback Kyle Juszczyk (finger) have been ruled out for the Week 8 game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams.

George Kittle Looks To Continue Hot Streak
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle took some time to get going, but he has finished as the TE5 and the TE1 in the past two weeks. Against Kansas City in Week 7, he caught six passes for 98 yards and a touchdown. Both the Chiefs and Kittle's Week 6 opponent, the Falcons, allow […]
Brandon Aiyuk Could Have Expanded Role In Week 8
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could have a larger role in the offense in Week 8 with Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings limited by hamstring injuries. Neither have practiced on Wednesday or Thursday, putting their status for Sunday in doubt. Aiyuk has been on a roll. In the past two games, he has […]
Jeff Wilson Jr. May Have Value As A Handcuff
San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. does not figure as a fantasy starter in Week 8. Last week, Christian McCaffrey played his first game as a Niner and had more touches than Wilson. Wilson still ran for 54 yards on seven carries, but, while Wilson has been having a good season, he doesn't […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is likely to have an increased workload in his Week 8 road matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In his first game as a Niner, the former Stanford alum, who joined the team just two days before game day, played only 22 snaps and had 10 touches. Niners […]
Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 8: Russell Wilson, Najee Harris, Drake London
With injuries and middling performances ravaging fantasy teams to start the season, it's okay to consider benching players who were relatively highly drafted (top-100) for this week and moving forward. This may be hard to stomach as you bench your QB1 or RB1 for a free-agent acquisition, but sometimes such measures must be taken to […]

Tape Tells All: Is D.J. Moore Back?
Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film and data for something that happened in the NFL this week.

We are now almost halfway to the fantasy championship. It's been a season full of twists and turns, and as always, a shocking amount of unpredictability.

Jimmy Garoppolo Facing Tough Rams Defense
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leads the 14th-ranked Niners passing offense into Los Angeles for a rematch against the divisional-rival Rams, whom they blew out 24-9 in Week 4.

A 1-1 split week was about fair, even though I absolutely loved both plays. I was in a wedding last weekend, and my mind definitely was not fixated on the card so I kept my exposure light. This is arguably one of my least favorite NFL seasons in recent memory. However, winning bets can change […]
