Brandin Cooks News
Tuesday, November 10, 7:52 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandin Cooks has the potential to be a deep-league stash in fantasy football, even after the team acquired veteran Keenan Allen at Tuesday's trade deadline. Cooks' snap share dropped to a modest 44% in Week 9, but his two receptions marked a season-high across five games since signing with the Niners. Cooks, Jordan Watkins, and Demarcus Robinson occupied larger roles on Sunday with Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) sidelined, and they (plus Allen) should maintain large workloads if Evans and Samuel sit out Week 10. It's still a bit too early to tell which of the 49ers' many injured players will have a chance to play this weekend, but the role that Cooks has carved out is certainly not insignificant. He is worth considering on waivers in deeper leagues with 14+ teams.

George Kittle News
Sunday, November 8, 6:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four of his seven targets for 58 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. This isn't a bad stat line by any means, but it was somewhat modest when you consider that the 49ers dropped 38 points and 414 total yards of offense. San Francisco demonstrated a clear commitment to running the ball; head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he wanted to run the ball 40 times on Sunday, and indeed, the team finished with 43 rush attempts. We expect Kittle to return to his mid-to-high TE1 form next week, especially with the 49ers dealing with plenty of injuries at the wide receiver position. The physical pass-catcher has the opportunity to continue operating as Brock Purdy's favorite target if Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) are forced to miss more time.
