49ers, Crabtree gaining momentum for a deal?

Oct 06, 2009

One day after ESPN reported that Michael Crabtree was heading back to San Francisco to talk with the 49ers, there's a sign the team may be open to discussing a contract again with its holdout wide receiver.

PFT reports that 49ers officials will meet with Crabtree and agent Eugene Parker today.

Crabtree, the 10th overall pick, is the only first-round selection yet to sign a deal. His absence hasn't slowed the 49ers' 3-1 start. And he has come under scrutiny from many in the NFL.

Hall of Famer Jim Brown scolded him last week. "Get your butt in camp," Brown said in an appearance on Sirius XM satellite radio.

Crabtree must sign by Nov. 17 to be eligible to play this season. 49ers coach Mike Singletary reiterated on Monday that he will welcome Crabtree if the receiver shows up.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
