Richard Sherman Comes Up Lame Friday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) was injured in practice on Friday, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Sherman's hamstring tightened up on him. Sherman should be alright, but it's a reminder that the 30-year-old played in only nine games last year due to a ruptured Achilles and may be becoming more injury-prone as […]

Road to #1 Running Back - AFC North

Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters. With guaranteed touches each game, these consensus top-tier running backs are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, with breakout players appearing […]

Cole Wick Carted Off Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end Cole Wick (knee) was carted off the field with a right knee injury on Thursday and was taken to a local hospital. The second-year tight end landed awkwardly on his leg trying to haul in a high pass. Wick was already behind George Kittle and Garrett Celek on the depth […]

Pierre Garcon Off To Slow Start

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon has gotten off to a slow start in training camp, and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has acknowledged that the two are still building chemistry after they didn't get to work together in 2017. Garcon ranks eighth among active players in catches (604). Receiver Marquise Goodwin had a breakout year […]

Marquise Goodwin Remains Team's Best Receiver

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin remains the team's top receiver this year despite the return of veteran Pierre Garcon from injury. Goodwin had a breakout season in 2017 with a career-high 56 catches for 962 yards and two touchdowns, and the early returns in training camp suggest that he could improve even more. […]

Let The Kids Play - A Case For Rookie RBs Over Veterans In Redraft

The common sentiment is to take established veterans over rookies in redraft leagues since we know what we are going to get out of them. If the last few seasons have taught us anything, especially at the running back position, it is that this may not always be the right strategy. Players with the talent […]

George Kittle Showcasing Big-Play Ability

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle continues to shine through six days of training camp. “The Jimmy Garoppolo-to-George Kittle connection was cooking today,” according to 49ers reporter Joe Fann. Kittle hauled in three long passes, including a one-hander near the sideline on Wednesday. After finishing last year as the 19th best fantasy tight end, […]

Late-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters

In part one, I identified mid-round values at the RB position. Now it's time to dig even deeper. With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount. This is the exact type […]

Mid-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters

With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount. This is the exact type of “economy” a ZeroRB drafter thrives in. Grab elite WR1 and WR2 types in the early rounds while […]

Draft Strategy - How to Approach Two-QB Leagues

For nearly the past decade it has been en vogue to draft quarterbacks late in your typical fantasy football drafts. There are plenty of studies that have determined that there isn’t a huge weekly difference between the perceived top quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and lower-end streaming options. That advice has worked well […]

Dante Pettis Inconsistent In Camp

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Dante Pettis has been inconsistent so far in training camp. He creates separation with what quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo calls "wiggle" and continues to make plays on the outside, but he has also struggled with contested balls and winning at the catch point. Rookies often struggle with consistency, so this […]

Jerick McKinnon, Jimmy Garoppolo Gaining Chemistry

The chemistry between San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo appears to be on point in training camp. McKinnon caught two touchdowns from Garoppolo in seven-on-seven drills on Tuesday. The former Minnesota Viking will be used heavily both on the ground and through the air by head coach Kyle Shanahan, and […]

Trent Taylor Back At Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor (back) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list and is back at practice. Taylor has breakout potential in an improving offense in the slot.

Matt Breida (RB, SF) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~155 CURRENT ADP: ~165 ANALYSIS:  When Jerick McKinnon signed a four-year, 30 million dollar contract with the 49ers, the fantasy world lost their minds. This is for good reason, McKinnon is the perfect back for a Kyle Shanahan offense that continually produces high-end RB1s in fantasy. However, that does not mean we should just ignore the […]

Joe Williams Making an Impression

San Francisco 49ers running back Joe Williams "looks like a completely different player," according to 49ers beat writer Matt Maiocco. Williams will have to continue to impress the coaching staff to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. Matt Breida is the heavy favorite to back up Jerick McKinnon, so Williams' main competition appears to […]

Dante Pettis Having a Strong Camp

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis has been having an excellent camp so far and displayed his speed on a deep reception from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo during one-on-one drills. The rookie receiver could carve out a role during the season, but it will likely take an injury to Pierre Garcon or Marquise Goodwin for him […]

Marquise Goodwin Stands Out

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is picking up right where he left off last season, as Goodwin blew past cornerback Richard Sherman and made a difficult sideline catch during one-on-one drills. The 27-year-old has been one of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s favorite targets throughout training camp. Keep in mind that Goodwin was the eighth best […]

Stop That Hype Train! Rashaad Penny

With the 27th pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected Rashaad Penny, running back, San Diego St. Along with this pick came the hype of being a first-round running back in a pass-heavy league.

Richard Sherman Medically Cleared To Practice

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (Achilles) has been medically cleared and will practice with the team on Thursday. For the first time in his career in 2017, Sherman didn't play a full season due to his Achilles tear. He played in only nine games and had 35 tackles and two interceptions. He should be […]

Trent Taylor Expected To Be Primary Slot Guy

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor is expected to be the team's primary slot receiver, in the opinion of 49ers.com's Joe Fann. That position will create a lot of fantasy intrigue in an offense on the rise under head coach Kyle Shanahan and young quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Taylor and Garoppolo had nice chemistry late […]

Matt Breida Will Be Involved In 2018

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon will be heavily used in 2018, but backup Matt Breida will remain involved. Even with Carlos Hyde touching the ball 299 times last year, Breida still managed 126 touches (105 rushes, 21 catches) in head coach Kyle Shanahan's system. 49ers.com's Joe Fann expects Breida to be just as […]
