Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Crabtree, 25, is coming off a breakout season in which he had career-highs in receptions (85), yards (1,105) and touchdowns (nine). The injury to Crabtree comes at an unfortunate point in his career and for the 49ers, though the team has been working to build depth on offense.
