Busts on the San Francisco 49ers

Busts can ruin your fantasy team's drive to a championship. Our staff searches for them on the 49ers.

Footballguys Staff's Busts on the San Francisco 49ers Footballguys Staff Published 06/24/2024

As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per weekday with our quick-hitting Team Sleepers feature, where we check out the players we think will surprise this year.

This is a weekday series that will stretch through July 30. If you like this and want another, come back the next workday. Another will be here.

Busts We Are Avoiding on the 49ers

We asked the Footballguys staff to identify a player they're uncomfortable drafting at their current price.

  • No One - 4 votes
  • TE George Kittle - 3 votes
  • WR Ricky Pearsall - 3 votes
  • QB Brock Purdy - 2 votes
  • RB Isaac Guerendo - 1 votes
  • WR Deebo Samuel Sr. - 1 votes
  • S Talanoa Hufanga - 1 votes

Reasons No One Could Be a Bust

  • Phil Alexander: Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle are appropriately valued, and any other 49ers (besides Purdy) aren't worthy of draft consideration.
  • Ryan Weisse: This team is appropriately priced, and the worst-case scenario with Brandon Aiyuk is a trade, meaning he'll still have value in 2024.
