San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) wasn't at practice again on Friday and is not expected to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks. Goodwin is tending to a family issue and also sat out in Week 12. Pierre Garcon is on track to return this weekend, but Dante Pettis might be the […]

Marquise Goodwin Misses Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) met with coaches and team officials on Thursday but was excused from practice for the second straight day to deal with family matters. Goodwin did not play in Week 12, but the good news is he's back with the team and could return to action on Sunday […]

49ers Defense Playing Terribly

The San Francisco 49ers defense continued their lethargic ways in Week 12, mustering only one sack and no turnovers against a sloppy Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. The team travels to Seattle in Week 13 to face the Seahawks who are sixth-best with over 29 points per game in their last three contests. With the Niners […]

Dante Pettis Could Build On Career Game

With a depleted receiving corps in Week 12, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis played in 58 of 64 snaps (91 percent). He also converted seven targets into four grabs, 77 yards and a touchdown. With Marquise Goodwin (personal) and Pierre Garcon (knee) questionable, Pettis could emerge as the team’s second passing option after […]

George Kittle Thriving Despite Poor Quarterback Play

Through 12 weeks, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been a fixture atop receiving leaderboards. He’s 18th overall in receiving yards (823), third amongst tight ends in yards per catch (14.7) and has 10 plays of at least 20 yards. Despite questionable quarterback play all season, Kittle has continued posting all-pro numbers. While […]

Matt Breida Flourishing In Workhorse Role

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) enters Week 13 on a two-game streak of over 100 rushing yards and four straight weeks of double-digit touches. With Alfred Morris inactive in Week 12, the Niners finally seem willing to hand the reigns to Breida. He’ll encounter the Seattle Seahawks who surrender a league-worst 5.3 yards […]

Nick Mullens Living On Short Leash

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens retained the starting job in Week 13 by a hair. After poor play for a second straight week, Mullens was criticized by head coach Kyle Shanahan leading up to Sunday’s matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks rank about average in pass rush, which has given Mullens fits over […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon Limited Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Breida has been hampered by injuries all year but continues to play. He has actually looked more fresh in recent weeks than earlier this year, though, and he's gone over 100 yards on the […]

Marquise Goodwin Still Away From Team

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) did not practice on Wednesday and remains away from the team after missing Week 12 due to personal reasons. Goodwin remains up in the air for Week 13 against the Seahawks, making him very risky for fantasy purposes. If he misses his second straight game, Kendrick Bourne […]

Nick Mullens To Remain Starter

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Nick Mullens will remain the starting quarterback for Week 13 against the Seahawks. Mullens came out of nowhere in his NFL debut three weeks ago against the Raiders but predictably fell flat in two great matchups against the Giants and Buccaneers in his next two […]

Jimmie Ward Suffers Broken Forearm

San Francisco 49ers free safety Jimmie Ward (forearm) suffered a broken left forearm in the Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers for the second straight season. The 2014 first-round pick is in the final year of his contract and may have played his final game with the team. D.J. Reed replaced Ward but left with […]

49ers Evaluating QB Position

Kendrick Bourne Flops Despite Expanded Role

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne caught just two balls for 27 yards in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bourne got the start with Pierre Garcon (knee) out but was a nonfactor in a game where quarterback Nick Mullens struggled.

Dante Pettis Leads Niners Receivers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis led all Niners with 77 receiving yards and a touchdown on four catches in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Nick Mullens Stalls In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens was just 18-for-32 with 221 passing yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Week 12’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Excluding running back Matt Breida, the Niners offense fell flat against one of the worst defenses in football. Mullens was harassed all day, absorbing four sacks and unable […]

George Kittle Disappoints In Tampa Bay

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught six of 12 targets for 48 yards in Week 12’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also rushed once for 10 yards. As far as fantasy tight ends go, Kittle’s performance is satisfactory but it’s still a major letdown facing an awful Bucs defense. Kittle led […]

Matt Breida Carries Niners Offense

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida collected 106 rushing yards on 14 carries while adding 34 yards on three receptions. Breida was the only bright spot in a very sluggish showing by the entire 49ers squad. Breida was repeatedly ripping sizable gains all day, with a long run of 33 yards. He was stuffed […]
