Anquan Boldin "top target" in 49ers' OTAs

May 29, 2013

49ers WR Anquan Boldin caught several passes from Colin Kaepernick, including one during a two-minute drill at the end of practice. He also was the top target for the team's other three quarterbacks - Colt McCoy, Scott Tolzien and rookie B.J. Daniels. In all, Boldin caught eight passes, one of them a touchdown snag between two defenders on a pass from Daniels.

Fantasy Impact:

Boldin and TE Vernon Davis are the two candidates most likely to pick up the slack left by the injured Michael Crabtree. It would not be surprising if Boldin led the team in targets. He hasn't cracked the 1,000 yard mark in the last three seasons, but when you factor in his last 16 games of 2012 (including the playoffs), Boldin caught 77 passes for 1,183 yards and seven TDs, and that even includes a goose egg against the Broncos in Week 15. He should be a nice value in the middle rounds.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
