Crabtree now has three receiving touchdowns on the season. His only other touchdown reception came in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. He was aided by an 18-for-19 night passing from quarterback Alex Smith.
Fantasy Impact: Crabtree had his best fantasy outing of the year since his 113-yard performance against the Bills. Smith’s ruthless efficiency played a big part, however. While Smith silenced a lot of critics, it would be asking a lot to expect repeat performances on a weekly basis. As a result, Crabtree’s returns could be more modest going forward. He has had fewer than 72 yards receiving in five of his other seven games played this season.
