A large chunk of his 117 yards last week came on a 62 yard TD scamper. He could have some success against a Niners unit that was 14th in the NFL last year.
The TE has always played a big part in the Mora/Knapp system, and this year will be no exception as John Carlson becomes one of the top TEs in the game. The Niners defense that so adeptly bottled up the vaunted Cardinals WRs, but allowed Tim Hightower to catch 12 passes may face a similar, dump off threat in Carlson.
The quarterback is just an incidental element in an offense that runs through Gore. If you're depending on Hill as your QB1, you're in trouble whether you know it or not.
Coffee's promising preseason didn't translate to much in Sunday's regular-season debut. Don't give up on him just yet -- but don't even think about starting him.
The second-year wideout has upside to burn -- and he's a starter on the depth chart -- but you'd better keep him out of your lineup until he shows you something of substance.
Nedney could have fantasy value since he's got a strong leg and the Niners' offense isn't exactly emphatic in the red zone. But chances are there's better options on your waiver wire.
