Jeff Wilson Jr. To Start In Week 14

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. is slated to start in Week 14 now that Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) has been ruled out. The 26-year-old Wilson totaled 58 scrimmage yards when Mitchell was inactive for Week 11. Since then, he has logged just three touches, partly due to a flare-up of his previous […]

Deebo Samuel Questionable For Week 14

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) practiced on Friday, albeit limited. The 25-year-old injured his groin during the Week 12 outing against the Vikings and wasn't available versus the Seahawks in Week 13. Fantasy managers should get an update ahead of Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati. Nonetheless, with Elijah Mitchell (knee, concussion) already ruled […]

Elijah Mitchell Ruled Out For Week 14

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (head, knee) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jeff Wilson is expected to lead the 49ers backfield, while JaMycal […]

Elijah Mitchell Out Against Cincy

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) won't play on Sunday against Cincinnati.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is expected to be the front-runner to start in Week 14 versus the Cincinnati Bengals with rookie Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) trending towards missing Sunday's game.

Deebo Samuel Misses Another Practice On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. Having a career year, Samuel missed Week 13 with a groin injury.

Elijah Mitchell Misses Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (head, knee) missed another practice on Thursday. The rookie's chances of playing against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 seem bleak, so fantasy managers should find a replacement. With that being said, it appears that Mitchell will soon return to action, so a long-term fix isn't necessary. Headlining […]

Snap Count and Usage Analysis for Week 14

Snap counts are not the be-all-end-all for fantasy production, but they paint a clear picture with the necessary context. Every snap is an opportunity for a player to make his presence felt and if their snaps go up or down, you get an idea of what the team thinks of their skill set. A running […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

With just a few more weeks of the season, fantasy managers need to stay on their toes, especially at the tight end position unless you have one of the top-three studs. Four, if Waller is healthy. Even T.J. Hockenson cannot be considered a must-start, as we'll find out below. It's a position filled with land […]

Week 14 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

This past Sunday, the Texans' Kamu Grugier-Hill and the 49ers’ Azeez Al-Shaair put in two of the best fantasy performances of the season.

Jeff Wilson Jr. Limited Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) was able to put in a limited practice on Wednesday after aggravating his knee in the Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson should be fine to play this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he could see lead-back duties if rookie Elijah Mitchell (concussion, […]

Deebo Samuel Won't Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) will not return to practice on Wednesday. Samuel injured his groin in Week 12 and sat out last week, and he's not guaranteed to be back on the field this Sunday when the team takes on the Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old is still the WR2 in fantasy […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Practice With Multiple Injuries

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) missed practice on Wednesday with "knee irritation" in addition to being in the league's concussion protocol. It doesn't sound like the 23-year-old's knee injury is all that serious, but Mitchell shouldn't be considered a lock to play in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals this […]

Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 13

Another whirlwind week in the books as we barrel towards the fantasy football playoffs.
