Nick Bosa, Jimmie Ward Questionable For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) and defensive back Jimmie Ward (hand) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bengals. Bosa tweaked his injured ankle in Week 1 but returned to practice on Friday and is expected to play, even if he's limited. Bosa, the second overall pick in […]

Trent Taylor, Jalen Hurd Ruled Out Against Bengals

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Trent Taylor (foot) and Jalen Hurd (back) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Bengals. Consider both Taylor and Hurd week-to-week for now. The Niners should go with three-wide sets of Marquise Goodwin, rookie Deebo Samuel and Dante Pettis this weekend, but Pettis played just two snaps […]

Nick Bosa Looks Ready For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) returned to practice on Friday after sitting out the last two days with a sore ankle, and he looks on pace to play on Sunday against the Bengals. The 21-year-old second overall pick should be active in Week 2, but he might have his snaps limited once […]

Dante Pettis Expects To Play More In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (groin) said his "body's back to normal" and that he expects to see more action in Week 2 than the two snaps he played in the season opener against the Buccaneers. Not only has Pettis been limited by an injury to start the year, but San Fran's coaching […]

Week 2 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! After an explosive Week 1, we are ready to get back to it and win some more money in Week 2. Many offenses came to play in the season opener, with the Ravens leading the way with 59 points and Tennessee surprising with 43 points. It wasn't all great, however, as the […]

Dante Pettis Must Prove His Worth

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis played just two snaps in Week 1 but should have a larger role Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Pettis missed practice last week from a lingering groin issue, but head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed his lack of action wasn’t explicitly due to the injury. Coupled with the […]

Deebo Samuel Off To Promising Start

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is trending up after playing 88 percent of snaps in Week 1. The rookie played more than any wideout and is likely the most start-worthy Niners receiver in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan tempered expectations by confessing that Samuel may have played […]

George Kittle's Usage Suggests Week 2 Breakout

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is an easy TE1 in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite a sluggish performance by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and two touchdowns negated by penalty in Week 1, Kittle posted a respectable eight catches for 54 yards. With his floor solidified, Kittle should remain the top passing option […]

Marquise Goodwin And Richie James Can't Be Trusted

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Marquise Goodwin and Richie James are not optimal fantasy options in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Goodwin and James recorded just one catch apiece in Week 1, with James capitalizing on his grab for a 39-yard score. Goodwin played 74 percent of the snaps in Week 1 but may cede […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Needs To Rebound From Clunker

The San Francisco 49ers need quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to rebound in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Garoppolo looked very shaky in Week 1, playing his first regular season game since suffering a torn ACL last season. Garoppolo squares off against a surprisingly frisky Bengals Defense that recorded four sacks last weekend against the Seattle […]

Matt Breida Stepping Into Lead Role

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida should see the bulk of work in Week 2 in Tevin Coleman’s (ankle) absence. Breida handled 15 touches for a meager 37 yards in Week 1 but the entire offense logged a sluggish performance. Without Coleman, Breida should lead the Niners backfield against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the […]

Nick Bosa Up In The Air For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) is still experiencing soreness from his right ankle sprain and wasn't practicing on Thursday for the second straight day. His status for Week 2 against the Bengals is unknown. The second overall pick played sparingly in Week 1 but managed two solo tackles and a sack […]

Raheem Mostert's Opportunity Is Now

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is in line for a sizeable workload in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With the injury to Tevin Coleman (ankle), the Niners will pivot to Matt Breida and Mostert to man their systematic running back committee. The fourth-year special teams lifer averaged an impressive 7.7 YPC last […]

Jalen Hurd, Trent Taylor Miss Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Jalen Hurd (back) and Trent Taylor (foot) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Neither Hurd nor Taylor are expected to play in Week 2 on the road against the Bengals. Hurd is worth stashing in dynasty/keeper formats, but neither are attractive in redraft formats for the time being. With […]

Rookie Receiver Breakouts from Week 1: Trust or Bust?

Rookie wide receivers are generally hard to trust in fantasy football. Last year’s class, for example, did not produce any regular fantasy starters, although players such as Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore, Dante Pettis, Christian Kirk and Michael Gallup all showed some promise. Ridley was the best of the bunch with 64 catches for 821 yards […]
