Bob Stanton-USA TODAY Sports The San Francisco 49ers offense took a tremendous blow with the news that wide receiver Michael Crabtree had tore his Achilles tendon. There is never a convenient time for an injury in the NFL, especially for the 49ers who were finally starting to see a return on their 2009 first round investment in Crabtree. If there is a silver lining to this dark looming cloud over the Bay Area it is the offseason acquisition of former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin and the team spending a fourth round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft on Louisiana Tech wide receiver Quinton Patton.  Boldin’s stock as a Fantasy Football receiver certainly skyrocketed with the Crabtree injury and if you didn’t have him on your fantasy radar prior to the 49ers losing Crabtree, he most certainly needs to be now. And Patton becomes an intriguing sleeper that you could draft late in all fantasy formats. Here’s what we know about Patton – he’s eager. So much so that he has already made the national spotlight when he purchased a plane ticket out of his own pocket so he could get to work in San Francisco. Because of this enthusiasm we know Patton has immediately won over 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. Thankfully for the 49ers, Patton phoned Harbaugh before arriving at the team headquarters, which is against league rules. Statistically, we know Patton played at the NCAA Division I level for two years in which he accumulated 2,600 yards and 24 TDs. And finally we know that A.J. Jenkins was a non-factor in his first season as a 49er and Mario Manningham has struggled with injury opening the door for the rookie to slide in to the starting lineup. The impacts of preseason injuries are very unfortunate, and that is certainly the case in San Francisco. However, once in awhile those injuries open the door to a fantasy football talent we may have otherwise never heard of, like Kurt Warner for example. Patton has tremendous upside and he now has the opportunity. This is a WR that you can draft very late, or pick up post draft on waiver wires, begging the question – what do you have to lose?

Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon underwent minor labrum surgery in January. Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Garcon has recovered from the shoulder surgery and is about 90 percent recovered from his foot surgery. He expects Garcon to sit out until training camp. Huddle Up: Garcon played hurt much of last year, so getting him healthy is the priority. And if he's able to get and stay healthy, he'll be Robert Griffin III's top downfield target.

San Diego Chargers WR Danario Alexander looked fluid in making back-shoulder catches in practice Monday, May 20. He claims he's at full speed, a contrast to his injured May practices last year with the St. Louis Rams. Huddle Up: Alexander has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, but in those limited stretches of good health he's been productive. The Chargers are looking for a go-to receiver, so if Alexander can stay healthy he's the prime candidate for the job.

If San Diego Chargers WR Robert Meachem has a strong preseason, the club could see if there's an active trade market for him. His $6.875 million cap number, however, may make that a difficult task. Huddle Up: The Chargers would love for their young receivers to step up and make Meachem expendable, but they also need Meachem to look good so they can get at least something for their ill-advised free agency investment. The 49ers are looking for receiver help at the moment, so perhaps there's a match to be made there.

Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said TE Fred Davis is about 90 percent recovered from his Achilles' tendon injury and that he expects Davis to sit out until training camp. Huddle Up: Davis should be able to walk right back into his starting role, and more importantly to his job as Robert Griffin III's security blanket in the passing game. It would be nice to see him on the field before committing a fantasy roster spot to him, but the upside is most definitely there.

What I like to do when I start my preparation for the new fantasy season is to take a look at how positions are going to shake out for the new season. I start with the wide receiver position. I look at how the third-year wide receivers did in 2012 and then look at the receivers that will be entering their third season for 2013. Step inside and join me on this wonderful trip. A NEW SHARK REPORT IS BELOW
