SF WR Emmanuel Sanders - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Green Bay Packers

Emmanuel Sanders played last week at less than 100% and wound up with only 33 yards on three receptions. He didn’t look right and he’s still dealing with a rib injury, so his status is up in the air heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Packers. Green Bay ranks 17th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers this season, so there could be some space to operation for Sanders if he’s active and healthy, but fantasy owners should probably take a wait-and-see approach with him until he seems back at full strength. We have him ranked as a fringe WR3 option this week.

SF WR Emmanuel Sanders - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Emmanuel Sanders left the game last week against the Seahawks with an injury suffered early on, so fantasy owners should check his status as he’s day-to-day. If he’s healthy, however, he’s a must-start as a quality WR2 option every week. Not counting last week’s injury-shortened outing, he has two touchdowns in two games as a 49er, and he’s easily the best wide receiver in San Francisco.

Sanders had seven catches, 112 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals just two weeks ago, and if George Kittle misses the game as expected, there should be plenty of targets headed Sanders’ way. If he’s active and there are no questions about his health, he should be in all lineups.

SF WR Emmanuel Sanders - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Emmanuel Sanders has played two games with the 49ers and has two touchdowns in that time. He’s coming off a great game against the Cardinals last week, catching seven of the nine balls thrown his way for 112 yards and a touchdown, and he’s clearly the top wide receiver on the roster, leading a myriad of promising youngsters who haven’t fully developed yet.

Mike Evans exploded against the Seahawks last week, and while Sanders probably isn’t in that class of talent at this point in his career, he should still benefit from a quality matchup. Seattle ranks 14th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers this season, which should be just low enough to allow Sanders to put up high-end WR2 numbers.

SF WR Emmanuel Sanders - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Arizona Cardinals

Emmanuel Sanders only had 25 yards in his debut as a 49er, but he caught four of the five passes thrown his way and scored a touchdown. Sanders is easily the most talented wide receiver on the roster and has quickly earned a role on the team after arriving last week via trade from Denver. Despite being with the team less than a week, he still led San Francisco wide receivers in snaps and was second on the team in targets behind George Kittle.

This week, Sanders has some upside against a Cardinals defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. However, Sanders may draw Patrick Peterson in coverage and the 49ers may get up early and not need to throw the ball much. Fantasy owners should consider him a low-end WR3 option, as game script may dictate a quiet day for the 49ers’ receivers.

SF WR Emmanuel Sanders - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Carolina Panthers

Emmanuel Sanders arrived this week to San Francisco via trade from the Broncos and he immediately becomes the team’s best wide receiver. His 367 yards this season are more than double that of Marquise Goodwin, the leader among 49ers wide receivers, and his route-running will be a welcome addition to the offense. This may not be the week to start him, however, as he’s new to the team and he’ll face a Carolina defense that ranks fourth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Take a wait-and-see approach with Sanders, and avoid the 49ers receiving corps if possible.

DEN WR Emmanuel Sanders - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Before leaving last Sunday’s game versus Tennessee with a knee injury in the first half, Emmanuel Sanders had only one grab for no yards. Even though it’s a short week Sanders should be ready for the Thursday night affair at home versus the Chiefs. Fantasy owners are hoping he’ll pick things up, as he has just two receptions the past two weeks and nine during the past month. Kansas City’s pass defense is No. 19, so, assuming he’s active, Sanders should be used as a WR3/flex option.

DEN WR Emmanuel Sanders - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Tennessee Titans
In the win against the Chargers last week Emmanuel Sanders saw only one look from Joe Flacco, resulting in a nine-yard reception. During the past two road games, he has been held to just 19 total yards but has been much more productive at home. In the two games in Denver, Sanders is averaging eight catches for 101 yards, so he should be used as a WR3 play versus a Tennessee pass defense that surrenders 227 yards.
