Season Outlook

The 49ers don't have all that much to look forward to on offense, especially with Bryan Hoyer as the team's Week 1 starting QB. Last year's QB Colin Kaepernick wasn't offered a renewal contract and will not be apart of the 49ers organization moving forward. WR Pierre Garcon followed head coach Kyle Shanahan to San Francisco from Washington and should continue to post up respectable fantasy numbers. Garcon will likely work out of the slot for Shanahan's offense, utilizing his quickness and polished route running. He will be heavily targeted and in an offense that is craving quality pass catching wide receivers, Garcon is the best option. The 49ers passing offense won't be all that good, so expect Shanahan to feed RB Carlos Hyde the ball. Hyde has plenty of upside as a RB1 but has had some major heath issues the past three seasons. In 2016, Hyde crushed the marks he set prior, rushing for 988 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games. Shanahan's offense will open up many holes for Hyde to dart through and hopefully gain a plethora of rushing yards. San Francisco failed to add any impact playmakers on the offensive side of the ball, so another basement dwelling season for the 49ers is likely to happen. The 49ers will enter the 2017 campaign with games against the Panthers, Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams - three teams with stellar defensive units and may struggle to score in the early going.

Player Outlooks & Draft Analysis

Quarterbacks
Jimmy Garoppolo We need to be careful about the way we interpret Garoppolo's success from last season's limited sample size. There's quite a bit to like about the way he played after taking over as the starter, but a lot of that has to do with his impact on the 49ers as a team, not from a fantasy perspective. His numbers were solid, but far from gawdy, and projecting him to finish inside the top ten fantasy quarterbacks on the seasons is probably ambitious.
C.J. Beathard Beathard will need to hold off UDFA Nick Mullens in camp, but that shouldn't be a problem. Odds are good that he'll start the season backing up Garoppolo as the 49ers second string quarterback.
