Of course, we need to monitor the status of Mitchell and Wilson going into Sunday’s matchup, but even if they play, I suspect Hasty gets a bulk of the work. The upcoming schedule has the 49ers facing off against the Bengals, Falcons, Titans, and Texans, so I expect Hasty to see a decent workload throughout the rest of the regular season.

In his first week back from injured reserve, Logan Thomas ran 23 routes and saw six targets. Taken in a vacuum, it’s not great, but it is promising considering he just returned from a long stint on IR. The schedule going forward is excellent, with matchups against Las Vegas, Dallas twice, and Philadelphia twice. Over the past four weeks, the Eagles rank dead last against the tight end, while the Raiders aren’t much better at 29th. Check and see if he’s available.

Despite his primo matchup in Week 11, Cam Newton is still available in almost half of ESPN leagues. He threw for two touchdowns and ran for another one against the Washington Football Team. In Week 12, he faces a Miami defense that has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks over the past four weeks. Newton does have a bye next week, so be aware, but he’s a great streaming option for Week 12.

Maybe it was by design, and perhaps it’s just bad luck, and you haven’t caught many breaks. Either way, the season is not going as you planned, and you’ve decided to build for the future. Whether you’re tearing it down to the studs, or just trying to acquire some assets to rebuild before the trade […]

Jeff Wilson is a stash pickup that I don’t think you can play this week, but he is going to be a valuable asset going forward. Last year, Wilson was a huge factor in the rushing game, contributing 733 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns over 12 games. Shanahan is going to work him into this backfield, and the upcoming schedule is extremely favorable. After this week’s matchup against the Rams, the 49ers go to Jacksonville, play Minnesota at home, have back-to-back road games against Seattle and Cincinnati, then Atlanta at home, at Tennessee, and at home against Houston in Week 17. Imagine! You could be playing Jeff Wilson against Houston in your fantasy Super Bowl! Don’t sleep on Jeff Wilson.

One of the highest-ranked tight ends until proven he isn’t worth the status. However, Engram has never been a dud and is capable of being a TE10-12. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett likes to use his tight ends, and volume could go his way. Engram has not played this season, but Week 3 looks like he will be activated. He participated in drills on Monday.

Over the last five years, 24 quarterbacks who finished as a QB1 were drafted outside the top 12 (40-percent hit rate). This hit rate projects we can find four to five quarterbacks that end as QB1s. However, how will we identify which quarterbacks hold hidden value, and which are ranked lower for good reason?

Whether Mostert is healthy or not, it is reasonable to expect Sermon to contribute as a rookie. If the incumbent starter were to miss any time, Sermon would seemingly see an increase in his workload, making him an intriguing option for fantasy. The potential upside has Sermon drafted as RB34 according to FantasyPros, standing to rise leading up to the season.

On Tuesday morning, the football community awoke to the devastating news that Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers will miss the entire 2021 season due to a torn Achilles. The second-year product out of Florida State was primed for a big season as the top billing running back in an explosive offense. So let’s take an in-depth look at how this affects the Rams’ offense as a whole.

All in all, this is a great quarterback class. It could be one of the best ones we have ever seen in terms of fantasy production. There’s no Josh Rosens or Geno Smiths who belong as backups instead of starters. It’s also apparent the majority of these players landed in ideal situations. Feel good about spending draft capital and investing in these players. You will see return on investment sooner, rather than later.
