Biggest 49ers fantasy bargain, bust, and wild card based on ADP

By admin — In News — July 14, 2026

   ​Before the release of ADPs four months ago, I discussed the 49ers’ biggest fantasy bargain, bust, and wild card. Where do things stand as we approach the first preseason games?Give it up for Jordan James (RB64 ADP) and rookie Kaelon Black (RB68). One of these two guys will almost certainly be a significant bargain—much hinges on how they look these next few weeks. The rest hinges on whether Christian McCaffrey can stay on the field (more on that in a moment). Both youngsters have one college season of workhorse usage under their belts. In other words, either one presumably could carry the load if needed.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMcCaffrey is a clear-cut bust based on historical data showing massive injury and/or regressions for 400+ touch RBs the following season. McCaffrey’s risks are compounded by the fact that he hit 450 touches and is now 30 years old — oh, and that he suffered similar fates in his two other 400+ touch campaigns. In that far-reaching context, his RB3 ADP makes no sense.Ricky Pearsall (RB45 ADP) is the biggest wild card. The former first-round pick could become Brock Purdy’s #1 target. He’s also just as likely to miss several games and/or struggle for consistency in a packed receiving corps. His outcome will affect the outcomes of Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, and rookie De’Zhaun Stribling.This article originally appeared on Touchdown Wire: Biggest 49ers fantasy bargain, bust, and wild card based on ADP
