FFPC Best-Ball ADP: Early Targets and Avoids

Forget free agency, the NFL Draft, and training camp. Best-ball season is already here and it's not too soon to start drafting. I know my fellow best-ball junkies have already got multiple rosters built because this is the best time to take advantage of great value picks before their ADP soars. Likewise, there are certain […]

49ers, Dee Ford Agree To Restructured Deal

The San Francisco 49ers and linebacker Dee Ford agreed to a restructured two-year deal worth $24 million on Monday.

2021 NFL Mock Draft for 7 Rounds - Version 12.0

With a plethora of high profile quarterbacks on the move, this is proving to be an intriguing offseason already.

49ers Sign Kyle Juszczyk To A Five-Year Deal

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed fullback Kyle Juszczyk to a five-year, $27 million deal on Sunday night. Juszczyk is listed as a fullback, but he really does so much more for the San Francisco offense besides block for the team's running backs. The 29-year-old means a lot to the Niners offense, but he can be […]

Targets, Touchdowns, and Tight Ends: Projecting 2021 TEs

Over the last decade, the tight end (TE) position in fantasy football has largely been defined by three tiers: the “big names” such as Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, the “middle tier” with Hall of Famers Jason Witten and Antonio Gates, and “the flyers” (remember Coby Fleener?). It was years like 2013 where eight TEs […]

The San Francisco 49ers reached an agreement to re-sign cornerback Emmanuel Moseley to a two-year deal worth up to $10.1 million on Friday, according to a source.

Read the Room, Draft Jeff Wilson in Best Ball

One of the more challenging and perhaps more fun aspects of fantasy football is trying to predict the future. While attempts at predicting the future often lead to more failures than successes for most, hitting on that player or team sure feels good. If you play in dynasty leagues or have had the chance to do […]

San Francisco 49ers' Offseason Predictions and Fantasy Fallout

Early 2021 Sleepers and Draft Targets - Wide Receiver

It’s early in the game. Most fantasy gamers haven’t thought about drafting their redraft teams yet. This is understandable since we haven’t even had the NFL Draft yet.

Weston Richburg Undergoes Hip Surgery

San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (hip) recently underwent hip surgery, according to a source. There is currently no timetable for Richburg's return.

Biggest Breakouts of 2020 - Running Back

The NFL might be a pass-first league that is dominated by quarterbacks and wide receivers, but running backs still rule the roost in fantasy football. 2020 was not a great year for running backs in fantasy football, though. The consensus No. 1 pick in fantasy leagues, Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey, only played three games due to […]
