Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

Week 2 solidified some waiver-wire adds as more than flashes in the pan, while other Week 1 studs followed that up with a flop. Whether you're coasting towards an easy 2-0 start, in the thick of it at 1-1 or up against it with an 0-2 team, you never stop improving. Stay tuned as injury updates […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Week 2 of the NFL season is (mostly) over. A lot of the best wide receiver performances from the weekend were from players who most folks already own, which makes it a bit tougher to navigate the waiver wire this week. This wasn't like Week 1, where guys like John Ross exploded and were no-doubt […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're reading this profile, chances are you passed on every highly-priced tight end on draft day, opting for a cheap option in a late round to just stream the position all season long or at least until finding someone valuable to pick […]

Raheem Mostert (RB, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Tevin Coleman (ankle) out, the 49ers turned to a committee approach to the running back position in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Raheem Mostert ended up leading the team in rushing attempts, carrying the ball 13 times for 83 yards […]

Deebo Samuel (WR, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I might be wrong but I consider myself one of the very few believers in this 49ers team. Most projections put San Francisco under the Rams and Seahawks in the NFC West and didn't give the 49ers more than seven wins all season […]

Dee Ford Playing Through Knee Tendinitis

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (knee) is "still hurting today," according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Ford has been playing through tendinitis since the preseason. It's the reason why he's had his snaps limited through two weeks, but he's been effective while on the field and has one sack and a forced fumble. […]

Marquise Goodwin (WR, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers offense came alive in a big way in Week 2, totaling 313 passing yards and 259 rushing yards in the team's 41-17 win over the Bengals. One of the biggest contributors to the offensive breakout was wide receiver Marquise […]

Joe Staley Suffers Fractured Fibula

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a fractured left fibula in the Week 2 win over the Bengals when running back Raheem Mostert ran into Staley's leg from behind. The offensive lineman said he's expected to be out six to eight weeks. It's a big and notable loss to San Francisco's offensive […]

Robbie Gould Scores 11 Points

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould converted five extra points and two of three field goal tries in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The offensive surge by the Niners against an overmatched Bengals Defense permitted plenty of opportunities for Gould, who knocked through boots of 33 and 38 yards. The 37-year-old veteran will remain […]

Marquise Goodwin Waltzes Into End Zone

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin grabbed three of three targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Goodwin opened the scoring, getting wide open for a 38-yard touchdown in the first quarter. His services weren’t needed much further in the 41-17 rout but any fantasy owners who […]

Dante Pettis Non-Existent Once Again

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis saw zero targets in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. In a 41-17 blowout, Pettis observed eight other Niners receive looks in the passing game ahead of him. He did manage to toss a 16-yard pass on a gadget play. Pettis played more on Sunday compared to Week […]

Matt Breida Mauls Bengals

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida raced for 121 yards on 12 carries and caught his only target for 11 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Breida and backfield mate Raheem Mostert (151 scrimmage yards) gashed the Bengals all day, both enjoying huge performances. The Niners had a few opportunities at the […]

Deebo Samuel Leads Niners In Receiving

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel snagged five of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Even with alleged less playing time this week, Samuel led the team in targets, receptions and yards, scoring on a 2-yard pass in the third quarter. The second-round rookie has […]

Raheem Mostert Surpasses 150 Scrimmage Yards

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert rushed 13 times for 83 yards and caught three of four targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mostert was everywhere on Sunday and was rewarded with an early 39-yard screen pass for his score. The Niners obliterated the Bengals on […]

George Kittle Takes Back Seat In Blowout

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle cradled his three targets for 54 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kittle’s receiving services weren’t needed in the blowout victory, as the Niners rushed for 259 yards. Kittle threw a few good blocks, which is meaningless for fantasy owners but his presence on the field […]

Jeffery Wilson Vultures Two Touchdowns

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson scored two rushing touchdowns in Week 2’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson’s role as the primary goal-line back paid off, as he handled 10 carries for 34 yards, including two successful conversions inside the 5-yard line. The Niners promoted Wilson from the practice squad this week and […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Breezes To Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 17 of 25 passes for 297 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Week 2’s annihilation of the Cincinnati Bengals. Garoppolo found both receiver Marquise Goodwin wide open for a 38-yard score then watched running back Raheem Mostert take a 39-yard screen to the house in the first […]

Joe Staley Carted Off With Leg Injury

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (leg) suffered a potentially serious leg injury in Week 2 against the Bengals and was carted off the field. This has the looks of an injury that could be a season-ender for Staley. It'd be a big loss to San Fran's offensive line and a downgrade moving forward […]

Nick Bosa Active For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) is active in Week 2 against the Bengals. Bosa had his snaps limited in his NFL debut last week against the Buccaneers, but when he was on the field he was productive, so his presence on Sunday won't be good news for quarterback Andy Dalton in […]
