Week 14 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 14, the quarterback position was littered with surprises. Drew Brees dropped over 40 fantasy points on a 49ers Defense that's given up the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season and Jameis Winston hung 456 yards and 5 touchdowns on a Colts Defense that's been solid against the pass all year. Mitch […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 15)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould knocked in two field goals and six extra points in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.

49ers Defense Gets Roughed Up In The Bayou

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida handled six carries for 54 yards and caught a four-yard pass in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.

Jimmy Garoppolo Answers The Bell

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 26 of 35 passes for 349 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. In arguably his biggest start, Garoppolo answered the bell, going tit-for-tat with a smoking Saints offense in a 48-46 shootout. With the Niners falling behind early, Garoppolo was […]

Kendrick Bourne Is A Touchdown Machine

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne snatched three of four targets for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.

Emmanuel Sanders Has Himself A Day

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders recorded 157 yards and a touchdown on seven catches in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. He also threw a 35-yard touchdown pass.

Tevin Coleman Relegated To Bench Again

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman toted just three carries for six yards in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. In a 48-46 thriller, Coleman’s second consecutive bust confirms that he’s been sidelined for Raheem Mostert and Matt Breida. He was seen early in the game but not much afterwards. After accruing just […]

Marquise Goodwin, Dante Pettis Out For Week 14

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (knee, foot) and Dante Pettis (knee) are both out against the New Orleans Saints. Both are off the fantasy radar anyway, considering they've played less than 40 percent of the snaps in their last three games when active.
