River Cracraft Fantasy

The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver River Cracraft to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Cracraft is familiar with new head coach Mike McDaniel from their time together with the San Francisco 49ers. The 27-year-old has been in the NFL since 2018 and has mostly served as a kick and punt returner on special teams for the Denver Broncos in 2018 and 2019 and the 49ers the last two seasons. In 24 total games over two seasons, Cracraft has recorded just seven catches on 11 targets for 85 yards and no touchdowns. He wasn't targeted at all in San Francisco in six games in 2021. Cracraft is well off the fantasy radar and will likely only make an impact on special teams in Miami.

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Trent Taylor (back) and River Cracraft (quadriceps) are both listed as questionable for Week 10 against the Saints. Even with rookie Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel not playing in Week 9, Taylor had a mere one catch for nine yards on four targets in the blowout loss to the Packers. The Louisiana Tech product has just 10 receptions for 86 yards in nine games this season. Cracraft has spent most of the year on the practice squad but caught two of his five targets for 13 yards last week. Neither Taylor nor Cracraft are fantasy material if they play this weekend, even with Samuel out until at least Week 12. Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne and Richie James Jr. should operate in three-receiver sets against New Orleans.

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to sign former Broncos wide receiver River Cracraft after working him out on Wednesday, according to a source. Cracraft impressed during his workout and knows the system. The Niners haven't ruled out signing another player, given the season-ending injury to Jalen Hurd (knee) and with Deebo Samuel (foot) a question mark to be ready for Week 1. Cracraft mainly served as a kick returner in his two years in Denver and only caught one pass in eight games played back in 2018. Even with San Fran's depth questionable due to injuries at the position, it's unlikely that Cracraft will make enough noise to become fantasy relevant.
