The San Francisco 49ers will visit the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Kendrick Bourne.
Is Kendrick Bourne Playing in Week 11?
Bourne is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Bourne in Week 11?
It was fun while it lasted, but Bourne’s role has essentially vanished into thin air since the return of George Kittle, and I expect that to be the case moving forward.
Over the past three weeks, five of his seven targets have come 15+ yards downfield. These targets appear to be more designed to keep the defense honest than to actually produce chunk plays, which is not surprising given the roster’s underneath playmakers.
This all-or-nothing role will be Bourne’s until Ricky Pearsall is at full strength, but I don’t think you need to wait to see that before cutting ties. This profile is available on the wire and can be added whenever your specific matchup needs a jolt of upside: there’s no reason to get too attached to any one such player and burn a roster spot weekly on him.
