Thoughts On Crabtree

Michael Crabtree finally signed with the 49ers. How do you think he is going to do this year? I picked him up in my league because he was dropped recently. Thoughts?

Someone picked him up in my league. If you have junk on your roster, stash him. I wouldn't drop anything worthwhile to pick him up. SF is a running team, Shaun Hill is not that great and it takes time to develop chemistry. More importantly, he missed 4 games, will probably learn the playbook by week 8 and will start getting into groove after that. He might have a huge game in the second half of the season, but I don't expect him to be worth it.

Yeah I don't see him doing that well at least at first. Maybe towards the end of the year he may be ok, but maybe pick him up if you are in 14 team league that plays 3 wide recivers or something like that. I think it could be similar to Roy Williams switching to the cowboys last year. I could see him doing ok next year just not this year. You rarely see Rookie WR do anything thier first year. It happens just not often.

I had some roster junk and picked him up when he was about to sign...Then I needed to move some pieces around and dropped him when it was very clear that he's not playing for a few more weeks.
