Deebo Samuel Capping Off Memorable Rookie Year

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel could lead his team in receiving in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie wideout has emerged as a top playmaker during the team’s stretch run and has also factored into the running game. Even with the Niners attempting just 27 passes across two playoff […]

Matt Breida A Long Shot To Make Impact

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida will likely be a third option in the running game during the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite an attractive matchup against the 29th-ranked Chiefs rush defense by DVOA, Breida has garnered just nine touches in two playoff games. While he averaged a crisp 5.1 yards […]

Raheem Mostert Going From Zero To Hero

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is the favorite to lead the Super Bowl in rushing this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fresh off a four-touchdown bonanza in the NFC Championship, Mostert draws a Chiefs Defense that ranked 29th in rushing DVOA during the regular season. The fifth-year breakout star will likely share […]

Tevin Coleman Limited In Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder), along with linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs), were limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be active in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen how much they will play. Coleman had only six carries for […]

George Kittle Has Been Playing With Torn Labrum

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (shoulder) said that he's been playing through a torn labrum in his right shoulder since the start of the 2018 season.

Tevin Coleman Doing Some Running Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder) is doing some running on a side field at the team's practice on Thursday. Despite sitting out of practice, Coleman appears very much in play to suit up for the Super Bowl against the Chiefs on Feb. 2. He suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the NFC […]

Tevin Coleman Misses Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder) was unable to practice on Wednesday, but the team remains hopeful that he will be available for the Super Bowl against the Chiefs. The team didn't practice on Wednesday, but they were required to submit an estimated practice report. Coleman dislocated his right shoulder in the first […]

Emmanuel Sanders Fails To Make Stat Sheet

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders failed to record a catch in the NFC Championship blowout win against the Green Bay Packers. With quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo attempting just eight passes, Sanders saw only a single target. The clear third option in a low-volume passing game behind standout rookie wideout Deebo Samuel and tight end […]

Deebo Samuel, George Kittle Make Most Of Limited Chances

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel combined for just three catches for 65 yards in the NFC Championship victory against the Green Bay Packers. Samuel added two rushes for 43 yards. The Niners opened up the game with a dominant running attack and a 27-0 lead, resulting in quarterback […]

Jimmy Garoppolo A Bystander In Blowout Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed just six of eight passes for 77 yards and no scores in the NFC Championship against the Green Bay Packers. Garoppolo had little to do but watch running back Raheem Mostert annihilate the Packers rush defense for 220 yards and four scores. With two consecutive easy victories in […]

Raheem Mostert Turns Up For Four Touchdowns

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert exploded for 220 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship. He also caught two passes for six yards. Mostert was unstoppable on Sunday, converting three rushing scores of 36, nine and 18 in the first half. He capped his […]

Tevin Coleman Suffered Dislocated Shoulder

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder) suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the NFC Championship win over the Packers on Sunday. Coleman had his shoulder popped back into place and Shanahan thinks that Coleman has a chance to play in the Super Bowl in two weeks. Only […]

Biggest Busts of 2019: Tight End

2019 was not the record-breaking season for tight ends 2018 was. San Francisco’s George Kittle (most receiving yards for a TE in a season) and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz (most receptions for a TE in a season) did not break the records they set last season, although both were fine for fantasy players. Kansas City’s Travis […]

Tevin Coleman Carted Off With Shoulder Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder) was forced from the Conference Championship game with an injury in the second quarter, and is questionable to return. After being tackled on the play, it initially looked like Coleman sustained an elbow or arm injury, but it is now being called a shoulder injury. He remained […]

Tight End ADP Winners and Losers: 2019 Season Review

I've always believed that it is easier to lose a fantasy championship than to win it on draft day. It makes sense, as sure-fire players are expected to reward their owners with a lower risk-factor than the other way around and thus they're always drafter earlier. If they put up a season-long dud, though, you'll […]

Biggest Surprises of 2019: Tight End

The 2019 NFL season was anything but predictable. I mean, the Tennessee Titans made the AFC title game! Andrew Luck retired right before the season! [Insert one of many, many other things here, because all lists need three items but I couldn't decide between all the possible third options.] One position where things at the […]

Biggest Breakouts of 2019: Running Back

The 2019 fantasy football was filled with plenty of surprises across the board.

At the running back position, there were some very interesting young names that took off and broke […]

2020 Early Quarterback Sleepers and Draft Targets

Heading into 2020, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson, and Deshaun Watson will surely be the most-coveted quarterbacks in fantasy football drafts. Similar to Patrick Mahomes in 2018, Lamar Jackson took the NFL by storm in his first year as a full-time starter and set an NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Personally, […]

Strategies that Worked (or Not) in 2019 Fantasy Football

Then fantasy football happens. That means everything that can go wrong will go wrong and that high-floor player on a […]
