Michael Crabtree injury update: WR probable, will play for fantasy owners
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree is probable for Week 4. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: After dropping a dud in Week 1, Crabtree has found his rhythm in the last two weeks, hauling in 17 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns. He appears to be fully recovered from his torn Achilles that caused him to miss 11 games last year. Questionable tight end Vernon Davis is looking like a game-time decision, and if he doesn't suit up that would mean even more targets for Crabtree and Anquan Boldin. In either case, Crabtree has a juicy matchup going against an Eagles' secondary that has given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. The showdown has plenty of shootout potential, which furthers Crabtree's status as a must-start. He's a high-end WR2.
