Dre Greenlaw continues to impress at training camp “One of the standouts so far: Dre Greenlaw, who has been teaming with Warner to torment ball carriers and pass catchers in the middle of the field. Wednesday’s team session began with Greenlaw stripping McCaffrey of the ball and recovering the fumble.” — Matt Barrows
The same list by actual FPG: 1. Christian McCaffrey - 22.7 2. Jahmyr Gibbs - 22.3 3. Bijan Robinson - 21.0 4. Derrick Henry - 20.1 5. Jonathan Taylor - 19.8 6. Joe Mixon - 19.6 7. Cam Skattebo - 19.3 8. Saquon Barkley - 18.7
This is just a gentle reminder that OL play matters more for fantasy rushing production than you might think There have only been four top-10 fantasy finishes over the last two years from RBs who saw fewer than 2.0 YBCO/Att Three of those four finishes were from RBs who had immense receiving upside: - 2025 Christian McCaffrey (13.9 receiving FPG) - 2024 Alvin Kamara (9.6 receiving FPG) - 2025 Chase Brown (8.4 receiving FPG) Metrics per @FantasyPtsData
Takeaways from Day 1 of #49ers camp: -Christian McCaffrey looks ready to go and got a lot of work -Romello Height a lot of snaps with 1s while Bosa/Williams were out -Two nice grabs for Stribling from Mac Jones -Nick Martin got a lot of work at SAM LB with the 1s
Eric Branch has some interesting predictions for the 49ers this season: • The 49ers over-reliance on aging 30-something players due to their series of lackluster recent drafts will catch up to them (and those NFL-record travel miles won’t help): They will finish 9-8, miss the playoffs and finish in third place in the NFC West behind the Rams and Seahawks • The Brandon Aiyuk saga will somehow get more bizarre — and the former All-Pro wide receiver won’t play in the NFL in 2026 • Best value dra...
I took a look at every top-5 scoring offense over the last 5 years and calculated the average fantasy finish across each position for these offenses: QB: 5.5 RB1: 10.2 WR1: 11.3 WR2. 29.3 TE: 9.4 Here are some notable teams with top-5 scoring upside that likely have severely underpriced players on ESPN 1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence: QB12 - Bhayshul Tuten: RB26 - Parker Washington: WR38 - Brian Thomas: WR37 - Brenton Strange: TE20 I like Lawrence, Tuten, and Washington at their ADP...
SI’s Conor Orr explains why he believes the 49ers can win the Super Bowl this season: “I can imagine a world where the 49ers either convince Joey Bosa to come back to football and anchor the defensive line with his brother, Nick … or where they realize how wide the talent gap is between their own defensive line and the Rams’ and trade for Maxx Crosby. By signing Mike Evans, the 49ers have made clear that their timeline parallels Los Angeles’s. We talk often about windows—mostly inaccurately,...

A point of emphasis for Broncos RB RJ Harvey has been studying film of other NFL running backs. As he noted during OTAs, he's studied footage of Christian McCaffrey, Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and Jahmyr Gibbs in particular. "Just watching more film, watching other guys around the league, watching their film ... just trying to see things on film that they do, trying to help better my game," Harvey said. "In Year Two in the system, I feel way more comfortable and it's only going to get...
