Kyle Juszczyk A Deep PPR Option

If San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is unable to play in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, Kyle Juszczyk could be a fantasy factor. Juszczyk is fourth on the squad with 20 targets and coming off a six-catch performance for 75 yards in Week 5. With 144 career grabs and a […]

Trent Taylor's Back Injury Diminishes Week 6 Upside

Anticipated for more work following injuries to various San Francisco 49ers wide receivers, Trent Taylor (back) now looks iffy for Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. Taylor underwent lower back surgery in the offseason and head coach Kyle Shanahan held him out of practice Thursday due to “wear and tear”. Taylor recorded his first […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 6)

Alfred Morris Offers Value But With Risks

With San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) banged up, veteran Alfred Morris could own the backfield limelight in Week 6. After Breida departed in Week 5, Morris received heavy usage (21 touches) but eked out only 4.3 yards per touch. Morris will be a volume-dependent RB2 against an ordinary Green Bay Packers rush […]

Pierre Garcon An Unappealing Fantasy Option

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) should be fine for Week 6 but his fantasy appeal is marginal. Garcon has just 188 yards on the season on 16 grabs and is looking for his first touchdown since Week 14 of the 2016 season. Even with the Niners dealing with myriad injuries, Garcon’s […]

George Kittle A Reliable TE1

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) has been the only constant in an offense beset with injuries. Kittle enters Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers having cleared 75 yards and five catches in four of five contests. The Packers secondary has been stingy but that shouldn’t deter Kittle owners from utilizing his […]

Marquise Goodwin Needs To Step It Up

The injury-ravaged San Francisco 49ers offense should get wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps, hamstring) back in Week 6. Goodwin’s been limited to less than eight quarters of football this season with nagging leg injuries and will square off against a Green Bay Packers defense allowing the second-fewest passing yards per game (208.8). While Goodwin is […]

George Kittle, Garrett Celek, Richard Sherman Limited

San Francisco 49ers tight ends George Kittle (knee) and Garrett Celek (quadriceps) and cornerbacks Richard Sherman (calf) and Jimmie Ward (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Thursday. All should play on Monday night against the Packers. Kittle has been a top tight end this year with 23 catches on 35 targets for 399 yards […]

Matt Breida Walking Without A Limp

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was walking around without a noticeable limp on Thursday despite missing practice. However, both of his ankles were wrapped and he wasn't in an orthopedic boot. Breida hasn't been ruled out for Monday night against the Packers yet, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Breida will need […]

Marquise Goodwin Practicing In Full

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) is a "full go" in practice on Thursday and appears to be on track to return in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night after sitting out last Sunday. Goodwin was a popular breakout candidate in training camp, but injuries have limited him to just […]

Matt Breida, Pierre Garcon, George Kittle Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Matt Breida (ankle), wide receivers Pierre Garcon (shoulder) and Trent Taylor (back) and tight end George Kittle (knee) are all sitting out of practice on Thursday. San Fran is pretty banged up on offense heading into the Monday night showdown with the Packers. Breida […]

If you've been following the NFL at all this year, you'll know that this year has been a crazy year for touchdowns scored, fantasy numbers, and many other stats. Not to mention, a load of […]

C.J. Beathard Committing Too Many Turnovers

While San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard has accumulated yards (647) and touchdowns (four passing, one rushing), he enters Week 6 with six turnovers in his two starts this season. Beathard and the Niners will travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers, who have allowed the second-fewest pass yards per game (208.8). […]

Rookies Worth Your Attention in Week 6

In this column, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally, […]

49ers Work Out Running Backs

The San Francisco 49ers worked out free-agent running backs Charcandrick West, Matt Dayes, Shane Vereen, Andre Ellington and Jeremy McNichols this week and signed Dayes to their practice squad, according to a source. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable to play on Monday night against Green Bay, the Niners are looking for some depth at […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Most waiver wire recommendations include several backs who could deliver excellent results at some point during the season, along with other rushers who are currently generating adequate scoring despite the obstacle of shared touches. However, San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris supplies the most […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

It took five weeks but the vultures are finally starting to come out. We saw it in Detroit, where talented rookie Kerryon Johnson turned 12 carries into 70 yards while LeGarrette Blount turned 12 carries into 22 yards yet cashed in twice on short touchdown scores. Despite the return of Devonta Freeman in Atlanta, it […]

Week 6 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

While this has been frustrating, it is essential that you manage your emotions, avoid making impulsive decisions, and utilize […]

Week 6 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Week 5 was a week of duds for many at the quarterback position, with ten starting quarterbacks scoring fewer than 15 fantasy points based on standard scoring. Some of those quarterbacks being universally owned and started as well. Disappointing performances aside, there were still plenty of encouraging games from low-owned quarterbacks. Detroit and New Orleans […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 6)

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 […]

Dante Pettis Won't Play In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) will not play in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night. Pettis was ruled out early in the week last week, too, so it looks like he's not anywhere close to returning. That's bad news for a Niners receiving corps that also was without Marquise Goodwin […]

Matt Breida Doubtful For Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) will not practice Thursday and is doubtful for Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. The Niners and Packers face off on Monday Night Football so the quick scratch for Thursday’s practice means Breida’s chances of suiting up are slim. He suffered a mid-ankle sprain in Week […]
