New 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh on Friday hired three of his Stanford assistants, including both coordinators, a source told Comcast SportsNet.

Vic Fangio, 52, who served as an NFL defensive coordinator for 11 seasons with three different teams, has agreed to be the 49ers' defensive coordinator. Fangio was Harbaugh's defensive coordinator at Stanford and was instrumental in the Cardinal's 12-1 record and Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech.

Greg Manusky, the 49ers' defensive coordinator the past four seasons, was hired Friday by the San Diego Chargers in the same role, the Chargers announced.

Greg Roman was hired as 49ers offensive coordinator earlier today, the San Jose Mercury News reported and CSN confirmed.

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

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.

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.
