Fantasy football owners probably eyed only one San Francisco 49ers player as a “must have” in 2019, tight end George Kittle. Aside from that, there may have been a few FLEX options or waiver-wire pickups to watch depending on matchups.
But that was before the Niners turned around what was a four-win team in 2018 into an NFC championship. And needless to say, players like Kittle helped turn head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad into an offensive powerhouse.
That isn’t expected to change much entering this season. Although there’s one caveat fantasy football owners have to think about when considering San Francisco players this upcoming season.
