Marquise Goodwin Still Viewed As A Starter
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin played in all 11 snaps with the first team Monday against the Denver Broncos. With the offense struggling, Goodwin did not record a stat but with a solid camp thus far, is still viewed as a starter. However, with receiver Dante Pettis hovering and rookies Deebo Samuel and […]
Deebo Samuel Keeps Making Plays
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was not targeted but ripped a 45-yard run in Monday’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos. After collecting 75 yards last Saturday, the rookie made another splash, nearly scoring on a third quarter reverse. Samuel was taken in the second round this past offseason and continues to port […]
Jalen Hurd Dealing With Back Stiffness
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back) played just eight snaps in Monday’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos. This is a letdown after Hurd exploded for two touchdowns on five targets in his first game, but head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Hurd dealt with back stiffness all week and was therefore limited. The […]
Dante Pettis Still Running With First Team, For Now
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis went catchless in 11 snaps in Monday’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos. Pettis’ action all came alongside starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo but he failed to record a stat as the signal-caller struggled in first game action since Week 3 of last season. Recent reports suggested that rookie […]
Tevin Coleman Has Three Carries Monday
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman had three carries for 21 yards rushing in Monday night's preseason game against the Broncos. As the primary back in Atlanta in 2018 because of Devonta Freeman's injury, Coleman ran a career-high 167 times for 800 yards (4.8 yards per tote) and four touchdowns. He added 32 receptions […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Posts 0.0 Rating Monday Night
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was awful in his first game action Monday night since tearing his ACL last year. He completed just one of his six attempts for zero yards and one interception for a QB rating of 0.0 against the Broncos and their strong defense. Neither the Niners nor Garoppolo are worried […]
Don't Sleep on These Quarterbacks
Take’em high and let’em fly. Sit and wait. These are both options to play when looking at the quarterback position in fantasy football. Is the high draft pick used on Patrick Mahomes worth it when looking at who else you could have taken? If you think so, then this article is not for you. But […]

If you've been playing fantasy football for long enough, you are well aware of the value of middle-round draft picks.

Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP
Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football neither. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are owners […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Takes Snaps Against Broncos
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) took snaps against the Broncos in a joint practice on Friday for the first time since he tore the ACL in his left knee last September. He threw five straight interceptions in practice on Wednesday but was much better Friday, going 10-for-15 with one interception while moving the […]
Nick Bosa Out Of Boot
San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) is out of his orthopedic boot and is doing light rehab work on the field after sustaining a right ankle sprain on Aug. 7. The Niners are hoping he'll be available for Week 1. Like his older brother Joey, Nick has already battled some nagging injuries […]
George Kittle Day-To-Day
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) remains day-to-day with a calf strain, and it's uncertain whether he'll play in the preseason game against the Broncos on Monday. Kittle should be fine for the regular season unless he suffers a setback. The 25-year-old broke out in a big way in 2018, catching 88 passes […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Has Terrible Day Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had a terrible day on Wednesday at practice, throwing five consecutive interceptions at one point. "Sometimes it’s hard to make the right decisions when you’re fired up and competitive," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "Usually, you make a bad play, it makes your mind go a little sideways." It's […]

Stop that Hype Train! Jared Cook
Considering how the NFL (like every other sport nowadays) is skewing younger, it must be acknowledged that Jared Cook poses a great case for veterans to fight for consideration as valuable pieces. Not only is Cook entering his age-32 season, but he's also only missed 11 games in his 10-year career, and played the full […]

Last week, at the SiriusXM Studios in New York City, I joined 11 other notable industry standouts for the annual FLEX (Fantasy League of Experts) drafts.

Deebo Samuel Has 61 Receiving Yards
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had two catches for 61 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also added a 14-yard carry. Samuel appears to be the favorite to start opposite Dante Pettis on the outside this year, and Saturday's game just moved that closer to being a reality. Samuel […]
Jalen Hurd Catches Pair Of Touchdowns
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd caught three passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. Hurd caught touchdowns from both C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens, and the rookie made a big impact at the right time, as the team announced Saturday that wide receiver Trent Taylor […]
Austin Walter Leads 49ers In Carries
The San Francisco 49ers played it safe with their whole running back until in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys, as all four of the players who are expected to make the final roster didn't play. If there is an opening, it's for the fourth-string spot that Jeffrey Wilson Jr. currently holds, but Saturday […]
C.J. Beathard Solid Against Cowboys
San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard went 13-for-17 in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. He had 141 yards and threw a touchdown and an interception. Beathard was the 49ers' backup quarterback for the early parts of last year, but he opened training camp third on the depth chart and there were questions about […]
Is the Next Tom Brady Out There?
In what has been described as a lackluster rookie quarterback class, there is really not a lot of value beyond the top couple of picks in dynasty leagues. But we know there are always hidden gems and players that take us by surprise. Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins and maybe Daniel Jones will get plenty of starting time […]

Jerick McKinnon Dealing With More Knee Issues
San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon is once again battling knee soreness. The 27-year-old suffered a season-ending ACL tear last September and was activated off the PUP list just a few days ago. He is slated to receive platelet rich plasma injections and is projected to miss the next two weeks. This is not […]
