Go Deep: 49er’s Target WR
February 16, 2012 · Leave a Comment
Adam Schefter reports that the San Francisco 49ers plan to sign a receiver in free agency and use a high draft pick on a wideout. The lack of deep targets for new local fan favorite Alex Smith was evident throughout the 49er’s season and playoff run. Michael Crabtree had 874 receiving yards and 4 TD’s last year. In the playoffs, Crabtree caught a 5-yard touchdown pass in the divisional round against the Saints to give the 49ers an early 14-0 lead. Yet, in the Saints game and NFC Championship game against the Giants, he totaled only five receptions for 28 yards. Fans would love to see a big name like Randy Moss, yet a second…

A name is only a name when it comes to strategic value of fantasy keeper leagues. I’ll admit, it’s hard to know when a running back has completely burned out, although being able to cut ties at the perfect time, is a that “pat on the back” that only a true fantasy champion can enjoy. The best part about making the right call at the right time on a fantasy keeper who’s over the hill, is dishing him off to a league rival for an extra draft pick, while watching this ex-house guest destroy someone else’s fantasy world. The NFL is about to see a passing of the torch soon, I am very confident of…

NFC Championship Preview In this season of incredible, record-breaking offensive production, it looks like the old adage “good defense beats good offense” holds true…in the NFC at least. Both the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants pulled off upsets of superior offensive clubs in the Divisional round. Now one of these two team is assured of a shot at immortality at Superbowl XLVI. Back in September, if you had the vision to wager on one of these two squads winning the NFL championship, you would be a very happy bettor right now. The Giants were a 28 to 1 long shot to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, while the 49ers were an incredible 60 to…

If the conditions are windy and sloppy – like they can be in San Francisco – the advantage goes to the home team. When it all comes down to it the home team keeps it close, but in the fourth quarter the Saints offense can only be contained for so long – Saints 31 49ers 23.

10 Amazing NFL Draft Steals, Starting in the Playoffs In a perfect world every team’s top NFL Draft picks would get ten out out ten grades and be leaders in the playoffs for years to come. But everyone knows quality talent can slip through the cracks to the second or third day at the NFL draft. While sometimes a player is the product of the right system, late round gem’s do pass by teams in need, while the hype of first round talent is statistically never as great in hindsight. The best scouts do get their guy, some chalking it up to great scouting, others to luck, with costly busts not talked about around the local…
