The San Francisco 49ers will host the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. 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 12?
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 12?
If you were holding onto Bourne due to the injury nature of the San Francisco receiving room, I don’t blame you, but we are done now.
Week 11 WR Usage
- Jauan Jennings: 24 routes, 6 targets
- Ricky Pearsall: 23 routes, 3 targets
- Demarcus Robinson: 13 routes, 2 targets
- Bourne: 3 routes, 0 targets
Brock Purdy is among the most efficient quarterbacks in the game, and that will put Bourne back on my radar should an injury happen ahead of him on the depth chart, but this isn’t the type of player you hold if you don’t have to.
Move on and circle back if need be.
