Pierre Garcon Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The 49ers have elected not to pick up the 2019 option on WR Pierre Garcon's contract. That's not a surprising move given Garcon's tumble over the past 2 seasons. He missed 8 games apiece in 2017 and 2018 and posted his 2 smallest catch totals (40 and 24) since his 2008 rookie campaign. The 32-year-old looks done as a fantasy factor -- and perhaps as an NFL player. His departure leaves opportunity for younger members of the Niners' WR corps: Dante Pettis, Richie James and Trent Taylor.

The 49ers have placed WR Pierre Garcon (knee) on IR. He's been sidelined since Week 9 and finishes with just 24 catches for 286 yards and 1 TD in 8 games. The 32-year-old's time as a fantasy asset is just about over.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (knee) will miss Monday's contest against the Giants. He missed each practice during the week. With Garcon sidelined, San Francisco will primarily utilize Marquise Goodwin, Richie James, Dante Pettis and Kendrick Bourne at WR.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. That leaves Dante Pettis, Trent Taylor and Kendrick Bourne behind Marquise Goodwin on the WR depth chart. Pettis is the best fantasy bet but would be a flier in Week 8 lineups.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. WR Dante Pettis, meanwhile, isn’t on the final injury report after missing the past 3 games with a knee injury. The rookie is worth monitoring but can’t be trusted in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) is active for today’s game against the Rams. He hasn’t scored or topped 57 catches in a game all season, making him just a low-upside WR4.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams. He played through these injuries last Monday night and should be fine for this weekend. But he remains just a low-upside WR4. WR Dante Pettis (knee) has been ruled out.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) is active for tonight’s game against the Packers. The veteran got in just 1 limited practice this week. He’s a shaky fantasy play.

The 49ers have deemed WR Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) questionable for Monday night's game against the Packers. He's nowhere near good enough a fantasy asset to be worth waiting on after putting in only a single limited practice this week.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon suffered a shoulder injury in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Cardinals and is questionable to return. San Francisco is already without WRs Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis, leaving Kendrick Bourne and slot man Trent Taylor.

UPDATE: Garcon returned in the 2nd quarter.

49ers WR Marquise Goodwin is considered questionable for Week 5 after suffering quad and hamstring injuries in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, according to insider Nick Wagoner. Goodwin battled through the injuries in that one, but we'll see what he's able to do in practice this week. With WR Dante Pettis (knee) out, the 'Niners could be down to WRs Pierre Garcon, Trent Taylor and Kendrick Bourne vs. the Cardinals this weekend.

An MRI on 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo's left knee revealed a torn ACL. His 2018 campaign is over. If this is a clean ACL tear with no other ligament damage, Garoppolo has a good chance to be ready for the start of the 2019 season a little over 11 months from now. QB C.J. Beathard takes over for the rest of this year. He completed 55.3% of his passes and averaged 6.3 yards per attempt in 5 starts late last season. The 'Niners averaged just 14.8 points in those games. Garoppolo's absence will be felt by everyone in this offense.
