MICHAEL CRABTREE, WIDE RECEIVER, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS, ACHILLES
In May, Michael Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon, and the 49ers offense has struggled all year (after week one) without him. He is not listed on the injury report for week 13 so he will suit up. There is no way to project how ready he may be, but there has to be some rust. Play him if you had the foresight to roster him but don’t expect huge results. Hopefully, your fantasy team will make the playoffs. If that is the case, Crabtree may provide you a big boost in your run for your championship.
Be patient and see just how effective Crabtree is before you start him. You’re probably anxious to get him in the line up but wait a week if you can.
