Michael Crabtree’s Fantasy Trade Value, Updated Outlook Heading into Week 6

Michael Crabtree has become what fantasy football owners feared he would be: an unreliable option who has more bad games than good ones.
In five games this season, the San Francisco 49ers receiver has totaled 246 receiving yards and two touchdowns. This ranks him as the No. 34 player at his position in standard fantasy leagues, well below his average draft position as the No. 20 receiver on ESPN.
To make matters worse, most of this production came in two games where he managed 162 yards and two touchdowns. Otherwise, he has been limited to fewer than 50 yards in three different games. Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee noted how bad things were in the latest game:
He was clearly dealing with a foot injury that limited him to just 59.1 percent of snaps in the win against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Rotoworld. Of course, the injury problems are another reason to distrust the receiver, who has played in 16 games just twice in the first five years of his career.
