Crabtree enters his third year in the league coming off a disappointing 2010 season. He never seemed to get on the same page with quarterback Alex Smith, finishing the year with 55 receptions for 741 yards and six touchdowns and catching just 54.5 percent of his targets. And how is that going to get better with Crabtree expected to miss most, if not all, of the preseason with a foot injury? Also not helping Crabtree’s fantasy appeal is Smith’s reliance on tight end Vernon Davis, the team’s addition of Braylon Edwards, and the play of Ted Ginn in training camp (okay, we’ve heard that story before). Keep your expectations realistic. Crabtree is clearly a talented player, but he remains an enigma, and you have to wonder if the light will ever go on for him. He is almost certainly going to be drafted before he should be, but if he does get pushed to the late rounds of your draft, he is worth grabbing as a WR5.
Comment:Crabtree is reportedly having problems with his surgically repaired left foot, and is on his way to missing his third straight preseason. Buyer beware.
Braylon Edwards released-- Tue Dec 27 11:20 am -- 49ers axe wide receiver
Wide receiver Braylon Edwards has been released by the 49ers with one regular-season game left in his injury-plagued, unproductive season.
"I was released today by the 49ers due to my injury that required more time to rehab and hasn't allowed me to re-sync with the offense," Edwards announced Tuesday morning in a statement on his Web site. "I wish the 49ers organization the best of luck during the Playoffs."(San Jose Mercury News)
FF Today's Take:Michael Crabtree and Kyle Williams (concussion) will be the starting wide receivers moving forward. In addition to his knee injury, Edwards has been battling a shoulder problem. He'll be free to sign with any team in 2012.
