The San Francisco 49ers are going to need all the help they can get if they're going to keep up with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos on Sunday night. Manning is chasing a career touchdown record, and Denver's ever-improving defense will challenge Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers' offense to keep up on the scoreboard. Michael Crabtree has seen a roller coaster of production in 2014 -- one week he'll have 10 receptions, only to follow it up with a one-catch performance. Crabtree will likely see a lot of Aqib Talib on Sunday night, which could lead to Kaepernick leaning on his now-healthy tight end Vernon Davis or the reception vacuum that is Anquan Boldin.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Michael Crabtree
Michael Crabtree is sharing a lot of targets on the 49ers’ offense. Will he emerge against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night?


Fantasy impact: The inconsistent stat lines from Crabtree and tough opponents makes him a shaky start. It’s not enough to warrant benching him, but owners should temper expectations and consider Crabtree a WR3 in Week 7.
