The San Francisco 49ers will not pick up the 2019 option on wide receiver Pierre Garcon, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The 32-year-old declining wideout played in just 16 total games in his two seasons in San Francisco and missed eight games last season with shoulder and knee issues. The Niners will be hit with $7.2 million in deal money and will save $1.075 million on the salary cap. Garcon, who will turn 33 in August, plans on continuing his career, but he's unlikely to have a robust market given his age and injuries the last two years.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) will undergo a knee scope and will be placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve. Garcon last played on Nov. 1 and had just one touchdown in the last two years for the Niners in just 16 combined contests. The 32-year-old won't be worth drafting in the majority of leagues if he continues his career in 2019. Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis will be the top two receivers the rest of the way, with Pettis being the better WR3 asset in the short to intermediate passing game for quarterback Nick Mullens.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Broncos after missing practice the last two days. Garcon hasn't played since Nov. 1 and has just one touchdown on the season. He's limping to the finish line and should be on most waiver wires. Marquise Goodwin, Dante Pettis and Kendrick Bourne will function in three-receiver sets this Sunday. Pettis has the most upside as a WR3 with Nick Mullens still under center.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday after he was limited on Wednesday. Garcon was limited in practice all last week before being inactive, and he hasn't played since Nov. 1. We'd be surprised if he's active in Week 14 against the Broncos, which would leave Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis as the team's top two receivers for quarterback Nick Mullens. Even if Garcon somehow suits up, the aging and declining receiver should be avoided everywhere.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Garcon didn't play last week after being limited in practice all week, so he may be looking at another missed game. The 32-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 1 and has just one touchdown on the season as he continues to fade at the end of his career. Even if he were available this Sunday against the Broncos, he'd be a low-ceiling WR5. Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis should be the top options for struggling quarterback Nick Mullens this weekend.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. The aging veteran was limited in practice all last week and didn't play. The 32-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 1 and has just 24 catches on 46 targets for 286 yards and one touchdown in 2018. Even if he return this Sunday to face the Broncos, owners in the fantasy playoffs shouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole. Dante Pettis and tight end George Kittle are the only Niners receivers worth playing.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (personal) and Pierre Garcon (knee) have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Seahawks. It'll be Goodwin's second straight absence while dealing with family matters. Garcon hasn't played since a Thursday matchup with Oakland on Nov. 1. The team will roll with rookie Dante Pettis and Kendrick Bourne as their top two wideouts this Sunday, with Trent Taylor and rookie Richie James also mixing in. Pettis has WR4/flex appeal but only in deeper leagues. Tight end George Kittle should see heavy looks and is a strong TE1. Seattle's defense/special teams has a high ceiling this week.
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Breida has been hampered by injuries all year but continues to play. He has actually looked more fresh in recent weeks than earlier this year, though, and he's gone over 100 yards on the ground in two straight weeks. He'll be a solid RB2 in Week 13 against Seattle. Garcon has missed the last two games and has just one touchdown and zero 100-yard games in 2018. The declining veteran could see a bigger workload if he returns in Week 13 against the Seahawks with Marquise Goodwin up in the air, but Garcon is still nothing more than a low-ceiling WR4/5.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) will be out for Week 12s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Garcon did not practice all week and will miss his second straight game. Receivers Kendrick Bourne and Dante Pettis should get more run in his absence. Neither are risk-worthy fantasy options despite the intriguing matchup.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) did not practice Wednesday. It could just be a day off for the veteran, but head coach Kyle Shanahan did indicate Garcon was expected to practice following the teams Week 11 bye. Garcon did not play in Week 10. Averaging just 36 yards per game with only one score this year, Garcon is a risky WR4 if he suits up in Week 12, even in an attractive matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
