Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A new era has begun at tight end in Pittsburgh.

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?
In Week 8 we witnessed a few unfamiliar names register QB1 performances.

Elijah Mitchell To Be Limited Wednesday With Hip Issue
San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (rib) is dealing with a rib issue and will be limited in practice on Wednesday to begin the week.

Deebo Samuel Will Be Monitored This Week
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will be monitored as the week goes on again, similar to what the team did last week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

The San Francisco 49ers defense forced four sacks and an interception while holding rookie quarterback Justin Fields to 175 passing yards during a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears.

Charlie Woerner Draws Two Targets In Week 8 Win
San Francisco 49ers tight end Charlie Woerner caught one of two targets for seven yards in a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. With George Kittle ruled out for the season and Ross Dwelley getting moved to second on the team's depth chart, Woerner was the de facto TE1 on Sunday but barely […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mohamed Sanu Sr. caught three of four targets for 59 yards in a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught four of seven targets for 45 yards, including a two-point conversion, during a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears on the road.

Deebo Samuel Surges With 171 Receiving Yards In Week 8 Win
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught six of nine targets for 171 yards in a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. Samuel continues to be the spark for the 49ers' offense, as he managed to haul in an 83-yard reception that set up a scoring play at the goal-line moments later. […]
JaMycal Hasty Finishes With 33 Total Yards In Week 8 Win
San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty carried three times for four yards and caught both targets for 29 yards in a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears.

Elijah Mitchell Surpasses 100 Rushing Yards In Week 8 Win
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell carried 18 times for 137 yards and a touchdown during a 33-22 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears.

Trey Lance Could Be Starting Soon
The San Francisco 49ers have lost four games in a row heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears, and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggled badly in a Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Trent Williams Officially Active For Week 8
San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle, elbow) is officially active for Sunday's bout against the Bears. The veteran was expected to play in Week 8 all along, although the official confirmation is undoubtedly welcome news, especially after the 33-year-old missed the Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. With the Chicago defense making […]
Trent Williams Expected To Suit Up In Week 8
San Francisco 49ers tackle Trent Williams (ankle, elbow) is on track to suit up against Chicago on Sunday. The 33-year-old didn't play during the loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7, but it appears he should be good to go for Week 8. With the Bears defense pulverizing opposing signal-callers this season, it will […]
