Thu, 22 Jun 2017 19:41:54 -0700 San Francisco 49ers TE Logan Paulsen and TE Garrett Celek could be competing with each for a roster spot, according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. Comment () | Share: 49ers | DeForest Buckner probably will see less snaps Mon, 19 Jun 2017 17:07:11 -0700 San Francisco 49ers DE DeForest Buckner played 1,005 snaps in 2016, but defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said he would like to see Buckner play around 500 to 600 snaps this season to make sure he can make an impact when he is on the field. Buckner said he was tired at times last season but would not be taken out of the game. Comment () | Share: 49ers | George Kittle make good first impression Sat, 17 Jun 2017 08:15:18 -0700 San Francisco 49ers fifth-round TE George Kittle was the team's most prolific target during the recent minicamp and drew praise from QB Brian Hoyer for his football awareness and intelligence. "He has a really good football awareness, is what I would call it. A feel for where to break, how to break, read zones. I've been surprised and, obviously, it's a good thing for us to have a guy who has that football awareness and some feel of the game to it," Hoyer said. Fantasy Tip: The more Kittle continues to stand out, the more likely Vance McDonald will not be on the roster come the start of the regular season. The rookie is being prepped to take on a hybrid tight end/H-back role and an above-average blocker as well as a receiver, so he figures to get a lot of snaps right away. However, that role isn't likely to translate to significant value right away in the 49ers' offense, so he can be left undrafted in fantasy. Comment () | Share: 49ers | Trent Taylor as advertised Sat, 17 Jun 2017 08:03:08 -0700 San Francisco 49ers fifth-round WR Trent Taylor has been sure-handed in early workouts and "very good at shaking free of coverage with a quick, up-field step as soon as the ball arrived," according the Sacramento Bee's Matt Barrows. Fantasy Tip: Taylor is currently the main backup to Jeremy Kerley in the slot, but San Francisco is almost bereft of playmakers at receiver after Pierre Garcon, so there will be room for the rookie to play major snaps somewhere right away if he carries his early success over to training camp. He's not an option in fantasy, however, as the quarterback situation puts a hard ceiling on his upside. Comment () | Share: 49ers | Trent Taylor making strong impression Thu, 15 Jun 2017 18:37:57 -0700 San Francisco 49ers WR Trent Taylor has been "very good at separating" from defenders, according to head coach Mike Shanahan, and Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee believes Taylor could return punts and eventually challenge WR Jeremy Kerley for the slot receiver role. Comment () | Share: 49ers | George Kittle standing out Thu, 15 Jun 2017 18:34:04 -0700 San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle received the most first-team reps of any rookie during OTAs and has "really good football awareness," according to quarterback Brian Hoyer. Comment () | Share: 49ers | C.J. Beathard picking up system Thu, 15 Jun 2017 18:30:25 -0700 San Francisco 49ers QB C.J.

"He trusted his skill set to attack when needed, and he wasn't afraid to," Scangarello said.
