Dante Pettis And Marquise Goodwin Listless In D.C.

Neither San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Dante Pettis nor Marquise Goodwin caught a pass in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. The two receivers garnered three total targets in a sloppy contest dominated by the Niners defense. After a week of fantasy buzz, Pettis will fall back with Goodwin in fantasy obsolescence as zero-floor WR5s... Read More

Marquise Goodwin Too Risky Against Hopeless Redskins

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin should see a bump in usage with Deebo Samuel (groin) ruled out in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. Goodwin leads all Niner wideouts in snaps but has surpassed 45 receiving yards just once this season. With the team heavy favorites and the Redskins pass defense inept at... Read More

Jeffery Wilson Could Regain Vulture Status

With San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) banged up, the biggest beneficiary could be Jeffery Wilson. The second-year back made fantasy noise earlier this season with four touchdown plunges on just 18 carries. Wilson could regain status as a red zone weapon if Mostert is unable to go in Week 7 against the... Read More

49ers Defense Licking Their Chops Against Redskins

The San Francisco 49ers Defense should continue their dominant run in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins.

Jimmy Garoppolo Needs To Clean Things Up

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo enters Week 7 against the Washington Redskins with seven turnovers through five games (five picks, two fumbles). While he draws a cake matchup against the one-win Skins, Garoppolo is just an upside QB2 facing a weak pass defense. To climb the ranks of fantasy relevance, Garoppolo needs to stop... Read More

Matt Breida Doing Fine As Second In Command

Despite playing second fiddle to backfield mate Tevin Coleman since his return, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida still holds plenty of standalone fantasy value. Playing fewer snaps than Coleman, Breida has converted 31 touches into 192 scrimmage yards and two scores since Week 5. The third-year back has also been utilized in the... Read More

Tevin Coleman Showing His Value

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has become a focal point of the team’s offense since returning in Week 5 from injury.

George Kittle Re-Establishing His Elite Status

Dante Pettis Back In The Mix

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis played in a season-high 72 percent of snaps in Week 6 and enters Week 7 as a WR4 against the Washington Redskins.

Marquise Goodwin Busts In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin had just two catches for 15 yards in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Deebo Samuel Suffers Groin Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) suffered a groin strain late in the Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Dante Pettis Makes A Little Noise

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis secured three of six targets for 45 yards in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. The stat line is trivial for most wideouts but this was Pettis’ highest yardage total in 2019. The Niners have leaned heavily on the rushing attack all season, rendering all pass-catchers marginal... Read More

Jimmy Garoppolo Posts A Fantasy Clunker

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 24 of 33 passes for 243 scoreless yards in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Read More

Matt Breida Plays Second Fiddle

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida toted the rock 13 times for 36 yards and caught four passes for 27 yards in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams.

George Kittle Gaining Momentum

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle finally appeased fantasy players last week with his best performance (6/70/1).

While the Niners have been the league’s run-heaviest offense through four games, Kittle is the clear favorite of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.... Read More

Jimmy Garoppolo Might Finally Need To Let Loose

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been the quintessential game manager amidst the team’s early-season undefeated run. With the Niners leading the league in rushing plays (57 percent), Jimmy G has yet to surpass 300 pass yards in any contest. That could change in Week 6 when the Niners play underdogs against the Los... Read More

Marquise Goodwin, Dante Pettis, Deebo Samuel Are Dart Throws

The San Francisco 49ers receiving corps has been a crapshoot all season and that should continue in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Read More

49ers Defense Can't Be Ignored

The San Francisco 49ers Defense enters Week 6 as the second-best defense by DVOA. Even against the vaunted Los Angeles Rams offense, the Niners unit is a start-worthy fantasy option.

Raheem Mostert Now Third In Line

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert enters Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams as just a deep flex option.

Read More

Robbie Gould Has An Off Night

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould converted just one of four field goal tries in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns while knocking in four extra points.

Kyle Juszczyk Undergoing MRI On Knee Sprain

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk (knee) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

Raheem Mostert Takes A Backseat
